'''Country Garden''' ([[Chinese character|Chinese]]: 碧桂園; [[Pinyin]]: Bìguìyuán) ({{hkex|2007}}) is a property development company based in [[Guangdong]] Province, [[China]], owned by [[Yang Guoqiang]]'s family ([[Chinese character|Chinese]]: 杨国强; [[Pinyin]]: Yáng Guóqiáng). In 2011, it was named one of [[Forbes Asia]]’s Fab Top 50 Companies.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/lists/2011/37/fab-50-11_Country-Garden-Holdings_6KLM.html|title=Country Garden Holdings - Forbes.com|publisher=}}</ref> Country Garden boasts a [[market capitalization]] of over US$8 billion as of 2014;<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/companies/country-garden-holdings/|title=Country Garden Holdings on the Forbes Asia's Fab 50 Companies List|publisher=}}</ref> with more than 200 high-end [[township]] developments throughout China, [[Malaysia]] and [[Australia]] among its vast international project portfolio. To date, the company has sold properties to over 1,500,000 homeowners and employ above 70,000 people worldwide.

==Background==
Established in 1992 in [[Shunde]], [[Guangdong]], Country Garden was listed on the [[Hong Kong Stock Exchange]] on April 20, 2007, making billionaires of five of its shareholders.

Founder Yang Guoqiang built the company from scratch, having previously worked as a farmer and on construction sites.{{Citation needed|date=October 2008}} The company now has interests in property development, construction, fitting and decoration, property management and hotel operations in a wide variety of global markets. In 2014, Country Garden was ranked the 6th largest property developer in China by sales revenue.<ref name="mingtiandi.com"/>

In 2005, Yang transferred his shares in Country Garden Holdings Company Limited to his daughter, [[Yang Huiyan]]. In October 2007, she was declared the richest woman in Asia by ''[[Forbes]]'' magazine, with a net worth of US$16 billion.<ref>[https://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSPEK24602820071008?feedType=RSS&feedName=worldNews&rpc=22&sp=true China's richest person is 26-year old woman: Forbes], [[Reuters]], Oct 8, 2007.</ref> Yang himself remains chairman and chief executive of the company.{{Citation needed|date=October 2008}}

==Overseas Forays==
Country Garden’s first overseas venture outside of China is the exclusive Country Garden Danga Bay (CGDB) coastal development in [[Johor Bahru]], [[Iskandar Malaysia]].<ref name="countrygardendangabay.com.my"/> With Country Garden Danga Bay, the company unseated market expectations by managing to hit a sales figure of US$1.57 billion (MYR5.0 billion) on the day of its official launch.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://dev.nst.com.my/node/3378|title=China developer upbeat on property sales here|publisher=}}</ref> To date, more than 6000 residents from all over the world call Country Garden Danga Bay their home. Similarly, its second Malaysian project in [[Semenyih]], [[Selangor]] termed Country Garden Diamond City had 70% of its total units for Phase 1 sold in early June 2014.

In order to support its long term growth strategy in Malaysia, Country Garden Real Estate Sdn Bhd launched a RM1.5 billion Sukuk Murabahah programme in December 2015, with proposed programme tenure of 20 years. Country Garden has become the first China company as well as the first Hong Kong listed company to tap into the ever growing Islamic sukuk market.

Country Garden’s overseas venture in [[Sydney]], [[Australia]] also garnered strong sales, with 296 apartments at its Ryde Garden <ref name="rydegarden.com.au"/> development sold within 6 hours in late June 2014; generating US$169 million (AUD180 million) in the process.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.domain.com.au/news/300m-worth-of-new-units-sell-in-a-day-20140630-zsr5s/|title=$300m worth of new units sell in a day|date=2 July 2014|publisher=}}</ref>

Country Garden with Indonesian conglomerate [[Lippo Group|PT Lippo Cikarang Tbk]] and Chinese '''Shenzhen Yantian Port Group Co Ltd''' will develop the '''Indonesia-Shenzhen Industrial Estate''' at [[Lippo Cikarang]] township, [[Cikarang]], [[West Java]], [[Indonesia]] at a cost of $14 billion.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/lippo-cikarang-investment-idUSL3N18M2H0|title=Indonesia Lippo says to build $14 bln industrial park with China firms}}</ref> The industrial park is expected to draw tenants from Chinese companies, ranging from high tech manufacturers of mobile phone batteries and solar panels, to app developers. <ref>{{Cite web|url=http://jakartaglobe.id/business/lippo-group-welcomes-shenzhen-business-delegation-jointly-develop-industrial-estate-cikarang|title=Lippo Group Welcomes Shenzhen Business Delegation to Jointly Develop Industrial Estate in Cikarang}}</ref>

==Recent News==
On April 2, 2015, Chinese insurance giant [[Ping An]] became the second largest shareholder in Country Garden by acquiring 9.9% of the company for US$800 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/ping-an-plants-cash-in-country-garden-heard-on-the-street-1427971619|title=Ping An Plants Cash in Country Garden|first=Alex|last=Frangos|date=2 April 2015|publisher=|via=Wall Street Journal}}</ref>

In January 2014, Shanghui International changed its name to WH Group, though one of its subsidiaries, Henan Shuanghui Investment & Development Co., Ltd., retained the Shanghui name.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wh-group.com/en/about/profile.php |title=Corporate Profile |publisher=WH Group |accessdate=April 12, 2017}}</ref> The new name is derived from the initials of "Wanzhou Holdings," where the Chinese characters "wan" and "zhou" connote eternity and continents, respectively.<ref>{{cite press release | url=http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20140121005322/en/Shuanghui-International-WH-Group | title=Shuanghui International Changes Name to WH Group | publisher=[[Business Wire]] | date=January 21, 2014}}</ref> When it acquired Smithfield Foods in 2013, it was still known as Shanghui.

==History==
Shuanghui was set up by the local [[Luohe]] city government in 1958 as a single processing plant. Wan Long was appointed chairman in 1984. Under Wan, the company has expanded aggressively. In his first year, he turned around a struggling company, bringing it from a net loss to a net profit of 5 million yuan ($1.7 million).<ref name=AP2 /> The company introduced its first branded meat product to the market in February 1992. Later that year, Shuanghui formed a joint venture with 16 institutional investors across six countries.<ref name=about/> In 1994, the venture was incorporated as Shuanghui Group.<ref name=forsale>{{cite news|url=http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2006-03/04/content_526484.htm|title=Henan meat processor Shuanghui up for sale|date=4 March 2006|work=China Daily|author=Zhang Lu|accessdate=31 May 2013}}</ref> Shuanghui subsidiary Henan Shuanghui Investment & Development Company Limited ({{szse|000895}}) was established and listed on the [[Shenzhen Stock Exchange]] in 1998.<ref>[https://www.google.com/finance?q=SHE:000895 Henan Shuanghui Investment & Development]</ref> In 2000, Shuanghui started a post-secondary educational-work research division.<ref name=about />

By 2006, Shuanghui was the largest food processor in China by company value, and 131st largest company overall. The company was valued at $1.3 billion, and controlled more than 50% of China's high-temperature processed meat market at that time.<ref name=forsale /> That year, [[Luohe]] government sold its share of Shuanghui to a joint venture of [[Goldman Sachs]] and private equity firm [[CDH Investment Bank|CDH Investments]].<ref>{{cite news | title=Off the Chopping Block, Onward for Shuanghui | url=http://english.caixin.com/2010-12-09/100205937.html|accessdate=17 May 2013 | newspaper=Caixin Online | author=Shen Hu | author2=Li Qing}}</ref> Goldman Sachs later sold most of its share, reportedly for a large profit,<ref name=Economist /> but owned 5.2% of the company as of May 2013.<ref name=banks/>

In 2011, state-owned [[CCTV]] revealed that Shuanghui pork contained [[clenbuterol]], a banned chemical that can be harmful to humans.<ref name=AP />

==Acquisition of Smithfield Foods==
On 29 May 2013, Shuanghui announced its intention to purchase American pork producer [[Smithfield Foods]], Inc., for $34 per share, or approximately US$4.72 billion total. Including assumed debt, the total value of the deal was about $7.1 billion. The agreed purchase price represented a 31% premium over Smithfield's market price at the time when the deal was announced.<ref name=AP /> The businesses had been in discussion for four years before they were able to come to terms.<ref name=Economist />

Before it was finalized, the deal had to be approved by Smithfield shareholders and the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.<ref name=AP /> However, ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' predicted the deal was "unlikely to face serious opposition" from regulators.<ref name=WSJ>{{cite news | url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887323728204578513382714121410 | title=Opposition to China-Smithfield Deal Seen as Muted | work=[[Wall Street Journal]] | date=29 May 2013}}{{subscription required}}</ref> "The administration clearly has a public policy of open arms – it's hard for me to believe that there are going to be many speed bumps in this transaction," said U.S. China Economic and Security Review Committee member Michael Wessel.<ref name=WSJ /> Several Congressmen expressed concerns over the purchase but stopped short of saying they would oppose it.<ref name=WSJ /> It was ultimately approved by Smithfield shareholders on September 24, 2013, and the merger was to be completed two days later.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.ibtimes.com/smithfield-foods-shareholders-approve-47-billion-acquisition-chinas-shuanghui-1410564 | title=Smithfield Foods Shareholders Approve $4.7 Billion Acquisition By China's Shuanghui | first=Amrutha | last=Gayathri | publisher=[[International Business Times]] |date=September 24, 2013}}</ref>

To allay potential concerns about food safety, Smithfield CEO Larry Pope stated the deal would "[preserve] the same old Smithfield, only with more opportunities and new markets and new frontiers."<ref name=AP /> No Chinese pork would be imported to the United States, he stated, but rather Shuanghui desired to export American pork. There is a growing demand for foreign food products in China due to recent food scandals.<ref name=AP /> Smithfield's existing management team would remain intact and no major changes to its workforce would occur.<ref name=AP /> Analyst Derek Scissors said companies such as Shuanghui are "not looking to cause any trouble in the American market ...They want to gain from what the U.S. is able to do."<ref name=AP /> China has been a net importer of pork since 2008.<ref name=Economist />

The deal was the largest ever takeover of a U.S. company by a Chinese company,<ref name=AP /> roughly doubling the number of US jobs tied to direct investment by China. The previous largest takeover was [[Dalian Wanda Group]]'s acquisition of [[AMC Theatres]] for $2.6 billion.<ref name=AP2 /> Smithfield ceased to be publicly traded at the deal's completion.<ref name=AP />

In July 2013, Shuanghui announced its plan to list Smithfield on the [[Hong Kong Stock Exchange]] after completing the takeover. The IPO was expected to see the firm valued at around $4 billion.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/17/us-smithfield-shuanghui-idUSBRE96F0BA20130717 | title=Exclusive: Smithfield's China bidders plan Hong Kong IPO after deal - sources | author=Saeed Azhar and Stephen Aldred | publisher=[[Reuters]] | date=16 July 2013}}</ref> However, the IPO plan was ultimately scrapped in 2014.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/wh-group-scraps-hk-ipo-on-weak-demand-1398768671 | title=WH Group Failed to Heed Signals Before Scrapping IPO | publisher=Wall Street Journal | author=Prudence Ho | date=April 29, 2014}}{{subscription required}}</ref>

Cathay Pacific was founded as "Roy Farrell Export-Import Co., Ltd" ({{zh|澳華出入口公司}}) in Shanghai in January 1946 by Australian [[Sydney de Kantzow]] and American [[Roy Farrell]].<ref name=hist>{{cite web|url=https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_HK/about-us/about-our-airline/history.html|title=History – Those Were the Days|publisher=Cathay Pacific|accessdate=23 December 2016}}</ref> Both men were ex-air force pilots who had flown [[the Hump]], a route over the [[Himalaya]]n mountains.<ref name=hump>{{cite web|title=Cathay Pacific Limited|url=http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/cathay-pacific-airways-limited-history/|work=International Directory of Company Histories, Vol. 34|publisher=St. James Press (2000)|accessdate=23 December 2016}}</ref> Farrell purchased the airline's first aircraft, a [[Douglas DC-3]], nicknamed ''Betsy'', in New York on 6 October 1945. The company began freight services in January 1946 with two DC-3s between [[Australia]] and [[China]] (its first commercial flight was a shipment of clothes from [[Sydney]] to [[Shanghai]]), but the profitable business soon attracted attention from [[Republic of China]] government officials. After several instances where the company's planes were detained by authorities in Shanghai, on 11 May 1946 the company relocated, flying its two planes to [[Hong Kong]].

Farrell and de Kantzow re-registered their business in Hong Kong on September 24, 1946 as "Cathay Pacific".<ref name=hist/> Each man put up [[HK$]]1 to register the airline.<ref name=HKD1>{{cite web|title=Airline Profile – Cathay Pacific|url=http://www.flightglobal.com/landingpage/cathay%20pacific.html|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100118132323/http://www.flightglobal.com/landingpage/cathay%20pacific.html|archivedate=18 January 2010|work=Flight International |publisher=Reed Business Information|accessdate=23 December 2016}}</ref> They named it ''[[Cathay]]'', the ancient name given to [[names of China|China]], and ''Pacific'' because Farrell speculated that they would one day fly across the [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]] (which happened in the 1970s). The Chinese name for the company ("國泰") was not settled on until the 1950s. It comes from a Chinese idiom meaning "grand and peaceful state", and was at the time often used by other businesses called "Cathay" in English.<ref name=name>{{cite web|url=http://www.airhighways.com/cathay_pacific.htm|title=Cathay Pacific sees opportunity in Shenzhen|publisher=, Air Highways|accessdate=8 March 2006}}</ref>

According to legend, the airline's unique name was conceived by Farrell and some foreign correspondents at the bar of the [[Manila Hotel]].<ref name=hist/> On Cathay Pacific's maiden voyage, Farrell and de Kantzow flew from Hong Kong to [[Manila]], and later on to Shanghai. The airline initially flew routes between Hong Kong, Sydney, Manila, Singapore, Shanghai, and [[Guangzhou|Canton]], while scheduled service was limited to [[Bangkok]], Manila, and Singapore only.<ref name=hist/> The airline grew quickly. By 1947, it had added another three DC-3s and a [[Canadian Vickers|Vickers]] [[Consolidated PBY Catalina|Catalina]] seaplane to its fleet.

In 1948 Butterfield & Swire (now known as [[Swire Group]]) bought 45% of Cathay Pacific, with [[Australian National Airways]] taking 35% and Farrell and de Kantzow taking 10% each.<ref name=HKD1/> The new company began operations on 1 July 1948 and was registered as Cathay Pacific (1948) Ltd on 18 October 1948.<ref name="FI">{{cite news|title= Directory: World Airlines|work=[[Flight International]]|page=62|date=3 April 2007}}</ref> Swire later acquired 52% of Cathay Pacific and today the airline is still 45% owned by the Swire Group through Swire Pacific Limited.<ref name=Swire>{{cite web|title=Fact Sheet – Major Shareholders|url=https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_HK/about-us/press-room/fact-sheet.html|publisher=Cathay Pacific|accessdate=23 December 2016}}</ref>

In the late 1940s, the Hong Kong government divided the local aviation market between Cathay Pacific and its only local competitor, the [[Jardine Matheson]]-owned [[Hong Kong Airways]]: Cathay Pacific was allocated routes to the south (including South-East Asia and Australia), while Hong Kong Airways was allocated routes to the north (including mainland China, Korea and Japan). The situation changed with the establishment of the [[People's Republic of China]] and the [[Korean War]], which reduced the viability of the northern routes. In 1959, Cathay Pacific acquired Hong Kong Airways, and became the dominant airline in Hong Kong.

In the 1970s, Cathay Pacific installed a computerised reservation system and flight simulators. In 1979, the airline acquired its first [[Boeing 747]] and applied for traffic rights to begin flying to London in 1980, with the first flight on 16 July. Expansion continued into the 1980s, with nonstop service to [[Vancouver]] in 1983, with continuing service on to San Francisco in 1986 when an industry-wide boom encouraged route growth to many European and North American centres.<ref name=Horizon/>

The airline began a US$9 billion fleet replacement program during the mid-1990s that gave it one of the youngest fleets in the world.<ref name="Changeofimage"/> In 1996, [[CITIC Pacific]] increased its holdings in Cathay Pacific from 10% to 25%, while the Swire Group holding was reduced to 44% as two other Chinese companies, [[China National Aviation Corporation|CNAC]] and CTS, also bought substantial holdings.<ref name=hump/>

On 1 July 1997, the administration of Hong Kong was transferred from the UK to the People's Republic of China as part of the [[Transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong|Hong Kong handover]]. Most of the airline's aircraft were registered in Hong Kong with a registration beginning with "VR". Under the terms of an agreement within the [[Sino-British Joint Liaison Group]] (JLG), all registrations were changed by December 1997 to the prefix "B" used by the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China (Taiwan).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.yearbook.gov.hk/1997/ch15/e15v.htm|title=Hong Kong – A New Era – Civil Aviation|publisher=[[Government of Hong Kong|Hong Kong SAR Government]]|accessdate=2 July 2009}}</ref> Cathay Pacific aircraft formerly carried a painted UK Union Flag on the tail, but these were removed several years before the 1997 takeover.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.airliners.net/photo/Cathay-Pacific-Airways/Boeing-747-267B/0000646/L/|title=Cathay Pacific – Picture of the Boeing 747-267B aircraft at Vancouver|publisher=Airliners.net|accessdate=24 May 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.airliners.net/photo/Cathay-Pacific-Airways/Boeing-747-267B/0815216/L/|publisher=Airliners.net|title=Cathay Pacific – Picture of the Boeing 747-267B aircraft at Hong Kong|accessdate=24 May 2009}}</ref>

On 28 November 2002, the airline took delivery of its first [[Airbus A340-600]] aircraft at a ceremony at the [[Airbus]] factory in [[Toulouse]]. Cathay Pacific was the launch customer in Asia for the A340-600 and the aircraft was the first of three leased from [[International Lease Finance Corporation]] (ILFC).<ref name=A346>{{cite press release|title=Hon Antony Leung tours 1st Cathay Pacific Airbus A340-600|url=https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/es_ES/about-us/press-room/press-release/2002/en_HK_pressrelease_91.html|publisher=Cathay Pacific|date=28 November 2002|accessdate=23 December 2016}}</ref> On 1 December 2005, Cathay Pacific ordered 16 [[777-300ER|Boeing 777-300ER]] aircraft, four on lease from ILFC, to be delivered between September 2007 and July 2010, plus [[Option (aircraft purchasing)|options]] on 20 more of the type, two of which were converted to orders on 1 June 2006.

====The 49ers – employment dispute====
In 2001, the Hong Kong Aircrew Officers Association (HKAOA) launched a "work to rule" campaign to further its campaign for pay improvements and changes to roster scheduling practices. The action involved pilots refusing to work flights that were not scheduled on their roster. Although this alone did not cause extensive disruption, rostered pilots began to call in sick for their flights. Combined with the work to rule campaign, the airline was unable to cover all of its scheduled flights, and cancellations resulted. Cathay Pacific steadfastly refused to negotiate with the HKAOA under threat of industrial action.<ref>{{cite news|title=Pilots' work-to-rule causing delays at Cathay Pacific|url=https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Pilots'+work-to-rule+causing+delays+at+Cathay+Pacific.-a076664432|publisher=Kyodo News International, Inc.|date=4 July 2001|accessdate=23 December 2016}}</ref>

On 9 July 2001, reportedly following a comprehensive review of the employment histories of all its pilots, the company fired 49 of its 1,500 pilots. This group became known colloquially as "the 49ers". Nearly half of the fired pilots were captains, representing five percent of the total pilot group. Of the 21 officers of the HKAOA, nine were fired, including four of the seven union negotiators.<ref name=Hopkins>{{cite web|last=Hopkins|first=George E.|title=Cathay Pacific Pilots on the Brink|url=http://www.cathaypilotsunion.org/generaldocs/USalpaarticle02.pdf|format=PDF|date=May–June 2002|publisher=Air Line Pilot|page=20|accessdate=4 July 2009}}</ref>

Then-HKAOA president Captain Nigel Demery took the view that "the firing was pure intimidation, a union-bust straight up, designed to be random enough to put the fear in all pilots that they might be next, no reason given".<ref name=Hopkins/> The dismissals were challenged in a number of legal proceedings, but none were reinstated. The airline later offered the 49 pilots it terminated in 2001 the chance to reapply for pilot positions with its cargo division, guaranteeing such applicants first interviews, subject to passing psychometric testing. Nineteen former employees applied and twelve were offered jobs.

On 11 November 2009, 18 of the 49ers succeeded in the Hong Kong Court of First Instance concerning their joint claims for breach of contract, breach of the Employment Ordinance, and defamation.

Judge Anselmo Reyes ruled that the airline had contravened the Employment Ordinance by dismissing the pilots without a valid reason, adding that they had been sacked primarily because of union activities. He also held that remarks by then chief operating officer Philip Chen Nanlok and current chief executive Tony Tyler after the sackings were defamatory. The judge handed the pilots a victory in their long-running legal battle, with individual awards of HK$3.3 million for defamation together with a month's pay and HK$150,000 for the sackings.

On 24 December 2010, judges Frank Stock, Susan Kwan, and Johnson Lam of the Court of Appeal overturned the judgment of the lower court to the extent that the claim for wrongful termination of contract was dismissed. The finding that Cathay Pacific wrongly sacked the 18 pilots for their union activities was upheld. The court upheld the defamation claim, but reduced the damages for the defamatory comments made by Cathay Pacific management. The judges also modified the judgment awarding payment of legal costs to the pilots and instead said that they should now pay some of Cathay's costs.<ref>http://www.cathaypilotsunion.org/proceedings/CACV000268_2009.pdf</ref>

The leader of the 49er Plaintiffs, Captain John Warham, launched a book titled "The 49ers – The True Story" on 25 March 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/49ers-True-Story-John-Warham/dp/1846245877/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t |title=The 49ers – The True Story: Amazon.co.uk: John Warham: Books |publisher=Amazon.co.uk |accessdate=2012-06-26}}</ref>

The pilots were awarded leave on 26 October 2011 to take their case to the Court of Final Appeal. The matter was heard before Hon. Mr. Justices Bokhary, Chan, & Ribeiro who are all Permanent Judges of the Court of Final Appeal. The matters to be decided upon by the Court will concern wrongful termination of contract and the level of damages for defamation. The case was heard by the Court of Final Appeal on 27 August 2012.

On 26 September 2012, 11 years after they were sacked, the 49ers were finally judged<ref>{{cite web|last=Hong Kong Legal Reference System|title=FACV No. 13 of 2011|url=http://legalref.judiciary.gov.hk/lrs/common/ju/ju_frame.jsp?DIS=83622&currpage=T|page=35|date=26 September 2012}}</ref> to have won the 3 prime issues of their legal case: breach of contract, breach of the Employment Ordinance, and defamation. The Court of Final Appeal agreed with the Court of Appeal's methodology for reducing the defamation damages. However, it reinstated one month's salary for each of the 49ers.

Regarding breach of contract,<ref>{{cite journal|first=Jennifer|last=van Dale|first2=Rashi|last2=Narayan|title=Court of Final Appeal Issues Important Judgment about Annual Leave|journal=American Bar Association, International Labor & Employment Law Committee Newsletter|date=October 2012|url=http://www.americanbar.org/newsletter/groups/labor_law/int_newsletter/ilel_news20121/oct2012/1210_ilelc_hk.html|editor1-first=Tim|editor1-last=Darby|publisher=Baker & McKenzie, Hong Kong}}</ref> the overall picture leading to dismissal and events immediately after will be analysed by the courts, not just the dismissal letter. Regarding the Employment Ordinance, an important aspect was that the judgment defined the scope of "union activities" and its protection for workers in Hong Kong. The Court concluded: "Accordingly, most (possibly all) union-sponsored action is potentially protected by s 21B(1)(b), but if the action is not carried out “at [an] appropriate time”, it is excluded from the provision." There was no challenge by Cathay Pacific to the Court of Appeal’s decision to uphold the {original} Judge’s conclusion that the statements made by Cathay Executives were defamatory of the plaintiffs.

John Warham, referring to the effect the fight has had on pilots' families, said: "In terms of human life, three people are dead because of what Cathay Pacific did to us. That's on their conscience, I hope they can live with that."<ref>{{cite news|last=Benitez|first=Mary Ann|title=Twin legal blows for Cathay spell joy for workers|url=http://cathaypilotsunion.org/inthenews/COFATS27Sep12.pdf|newspaper=The Standard|date=27 September 2012}}</ref>

====Acquisition and downsizing of Dragonair====
On September 28,2006, the airline underwent a shareholding realignment under which Dragonair became a wholly owned subsidiary but continued to operate under its own brand. Acquiring Dragonair meant gaining more access to the restricted, yet rapidly growing, Mainland China market and more opportunities for sharing of resources. [[China National Aviation Holding|CNAC]], and its subsidiary, Air China, acquired a 17.5 percent stake in Cathay Pacific, and the airline doubled its shareholding in Air China to 17.5 percent. [[CITIC Pacific]] reduced its shareholding to 17.5 percent and [[Swire Group]] reduced its shareholding to 40 percent.<ref>{{cite web|title=Fact Sheet – Major Subsidiaries and Associates|url=https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_HK/about-us/press-room/fact-sheet.html|publisher=Cathay Pacific|accessdate=23 December 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=History – Into the New Millennium|url=https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_HK/about-us/about-our-airline/history.html|publisher=Cathay Pacific|accessdate=23 December 2016}}</ref><ref name=KAmerge>{{cite web|title=Cathay, Air China Deal Enables Dragonair Purchase|url=http://www.businesstravelnews.com/Business-Globalization/Cathay-Air-China-Deal-Enables-Dragonair-Purchase|date=17 July 2006|publisher=Business Travel News|accessdate=23 December 2016}}</ref>

It was already operating services to [[Bangkok]] and Tokyo, and was to have a dedicated cargo fleet of nine [[Boeing 747-400]]BCF aircraft by 2009 operating to New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and [[Columbus, Ohio|Columbus]].<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.dragonair.com/da/en_INTL/aboutus/pressroomdetails?refID=66cc5b81f2510110VgnVCM22000022d21c39____|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110909163324/http://www.dragonair.com/da/en_INTL/aboutus/pressroomdetails?refID=66cc5b81f2510110VgnVCM22000022d21c39____|archivedate=9 September 2011|title=Dragonair to more than double size of cargo fleet by end-2008|publisher=Dragonair|date=6 May 2004|accessdate=23 December 2016}}</ref> It had also acquired three [[Airbus A330-300]] aircraft to commence services to Sydney and [[Seoul]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.travelweekly.com.au/articles/14/0c01f914.asp |title=Dragonair gets green light for Sydney/Hong Kong services |publisher=[[Reed Business Information]] |work=Travel Weekly |date=19 April 2004 |accessdate=4 July 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081228003018/http://www.travelweekly.com.au/articles/14/0c01f914.asp |archivedate=28 December 2008 }}</ref>

Following the acquisition by Cathay Pacific, Dragonair's proposed expansion plans underwent a comprehensive route compatibility analysis with the Cathay network, in an effort to reduce duplication. Dragonair services to Bangkok and Tokyo were terminated, and new services launched to Sendai, Phuket, Manila and Kathmandu. With the merging of similar departments at the two previously separate airlines, some Dragonair staff have had their employment contracts transferred to Cathay Pacific, with the exception of Dragonair Pilots and Cabin Crew and others made redundant due to the efficiencies gained in the merger. This has resulted in an approximately 37 percent decrease in the number of staff contractually employed by Dragonair.{{citation needed|date=December 2016}}

There has been speculation that Dragonair will cease as a brand and be fully absorbed into Cathay Pacific.<ref name=KAmerge/>

In January 2016, Cathay Pacific announced it was rebranding Dragonair as Cathay Dragon.<ref>{{cite press release |author= |title=Cathay Pacific group enters new era with rebranding of Dragonair as Cathay Dragon |url=https://www.dragonair.com/ka/en_HK/about-us/media-centre/press-release/2016/Cathay-Pacific-group-enters-new-era-with-rebranding-of-Dragonair-as-Cathay-Dragon.html |publisher=Cathay Pacific Group |date=28 January 2016 |access-date=23 December 2016}}</ref>

To celebrate the airline's 60th anniversary in 2006, a year of road shows named the "Cathay Pacific 60th Anniversary Skyshow" was held where the public could see the developments of the airline, play games, meet some of the airline staff, and view vintage uniforms. Cathay Pacific also introduced anniversary merchandise and [[airline meal|in-flight meals]] served by restaurants in Hong Kong in collaboration with the celebrations.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Cathay Pacific takes 60th Anniversary Skyshow on the road|url=https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/es_ES/about-us/press-room/press-release/2006/en_HK_pressrelease_79.html|publisher=Cathay Pacific|date=20 May 2006|accessdate=23 December 2016}}</ref>

In June 2008, Cathay Pacific entered into a [[plea bargain]] with the [[United States Department of Justice]] in respect of antitrust investigations over air cargo price fixing agreements. It was fined US$60 million. The airline has subsequently set up an internal Competition Compliance Office, reporting to chief operating officer John Slosar, to ensure that the Group complies with all relevant competition and antitrust laws in the jurisdiction in which it operates. The breaches for which Cathay Pacific Cargo were being investigated in the US were not illegal under Hong Kong competition law.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Major International Airlines Agree to Plead Guilty and Pay Criminal Fines Totaling More Than $500 Million for Fixing Prices on Air Cargo Rates|url=http://www.usdoj.gov/opa/pr/2008/June/08-at-570.html|publisher=[[United States Department of Justice]]|date=26 June 2008|accessdate=4 July 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release|title=Announcement Plea Agreement with United States Department of Justice|url=http://downloads.cathaypacific.com/cx/investor/20080626CX_Announcement%28B%29_en.pdf|format=PDF|publisher=Cathay Pacific|date=26 June 2008|accessdate=4 September 2009}}</ref>

In March 2009, the airline reported a record full-year loss of [[HK$]]8.56 billion for 2008, which was also the carrier's first since the [[1997 Asian Financial Crisis]]. The record loss included fuel-hedging losses of HK$7.6 billion and a HK$468 million charge for a price-fixing fine in the US It had to scrap its final dividend. The hedging losses were a result of locking in fuel prices at higher than prevailing market price. As of the end of 2008, Cathay Pacific has hedged about half of its fuel needs until the end of 2011. The airline at the time estimated that it would face no further cash costs from the hedges if the average market price stood at US$75, enabling it recoup provisions it made in 2008.<ref name=2008loss>{{cite news|last=Leung|first=Wendy|title=Cathay Pacific to delay planes, review routes on loss|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aCGfshxczTzM|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025150125/http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aCGfshxczTzM|archivedate=25 October 2012|publisher=[[Bloomberg L.P.]]|date=11 March 2009|accessdate=23 December 2016}}</ref>

The flattening out of fuel prices resulted in Cathay Pacific recording a paper fuel hedging gain for its half-year reports for 2009. However, as a result of the global economic situation, the Group reported an operating loss. Given the current economic climate, and in line with the steps being taken by other major airlines around the world, the airline has undertaken a comprehensive review of all its routes and operations. This has resulted in frequencies being reduced to certain destinations, ad hoc cancellations on other routes, deferred capital expenditure, parked aircraft and introduced a Special Leave Scheme for staff to conserve money.<ref>{{cite news|last=Chan|first=Sue Ling|title=Cathay, Singapore Face Tough Decisions|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aVooYceFNyjc|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025150135/http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aVooYceFNyjc|archivedate=25 October 2012|publisher=Bloomberg L.

===2010s: Current developments===
In 2010, the airline set another record high profit, amounting to [[HK$]]14.05 billion despite record losses set in the same decade. At the same time, Cathay Pacific had taken delivery of several new aircraft types, including the Airbus A330-300 and Boeing 777-300 ER.<ref>{{cite news |last=Chiu |first=Joanne |date=9 March 2011 |title=Cathay Pacific Net Nearly Triples |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748703560404576189500166075350 |newspaper=The Wall Street Journal |access-date=23 December 2016 }}</ref> Tony Tyler left his position as CEO at the airline on 31 March 2010 to pursue his new job at the IATA.

On 8 October 2016, Cathay Pacific retired their last passenger [[Boeing 747]], a 747-400, with a farewell scenic flight around Hong Kong after over 35 years of service of the type. Cathay operated the 747 since August 1979, when it was inaugurated on services to [[Australia]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Liu|first1=Jim|title=Flashback – Cathay Pacific Summer 1979 Boeing 747 operations|url=http://www.routesonline.com/news/38/airlineroute/269250/flashback-Cathay-pacific-summer-1979-Boeing-747-operations/|website=Routes Online|accessdate=23 December 2016|date=7 October 2016}}</ref>

During the first half of 2016, Cathay Pacific's passenger yields fell 10 per cent, to the lowest in seven years as competing airlines from Mainland China increased direct service to the U.S. and Europe, hurting the company's revenue from its Hong Kong hub.<ref>{{cite news|title=Cathay Pacific says big slump in number of premium travelers from Hong Kong|url=http://www.thenational.ae/business/aviation/cathay-pacific-says-big-slump-in-number-of-premium-travelers-from-hong-Kong|accessdate=1 January 2017|work=The National|agency=Bloomberg|date=Aug 18, 2016}}</ref> In October, Cathay Pacific scrapped its profit forecast for the second half of the year, less than two months after its issuance.<ref name=SCMP>{{cite news|last1=Ng|first1=Eric|title=Cathay Pacific lowers second-half profit forecast as overcapacity, competition take a toll|url=http://www.scmp.com/business/companies/article/2027471/cathay-pacific-lowers-second-half-profit-forecast-overcapacity|accessdate=1 January 2017|work=The South China Morning Post|date=October 12, 2016}}</ref>

From September 15, 2016, Cathay Pacific decided to reintroduce fuel surcharge on many flights after its half-year net profits dropped over 80% and it suffered HK$4.5 billion loss from wrong bets on fuel prices.<ref name=SCMP050916/> As of September 2016, Oil prices were halved from 2014 and stayed below US$50 a barrel.<ref name=SCMP050916>{{cite news|last1=Sun|first1=Nikki|title=HK$109 surcharge for Cathay and Dragonair passengers flying into Hong Kong after wrong-way bet on oil prices|url=http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/economy/article/2015171/wrong-bet-oil-prices-leads-hk109-surcharge-cathay-and|accessdate=1 March 2017|work=The South China Morning Post|date=Sep 5, 2016}}</ref>

===Branding===
Branding and publicity efforts have revolved primarily around the staff and passengers of Cathay Pacific. The airline's first campaign focusing on the passenger was "''It's the little things that move you''". It was followed by an advertising campaign, "''Great Service. Great People. Great Fares.''"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://services.inquirer.net/print/print.php?article_id=20080711-147720 |title=MARKETING Rx: Right corporate brand equity for service firm |publisher=Inquirer |accessdate=13 September 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120326013915/http://services.inquirer.net/print/print.php?article_id=20080711-147720 |archivedate=26 March 2012 }}</ref> In 2011, Cathay Pacific rolled out "''People.

All Cathay Pacific aircraft carry the following livery, logos and trademarks: the "brushwing" livery on the body and on the [[vertical stabiliser]], introduced in the early 1990s; the "Asia's world city" brandline, the [[Brand Hong Kong]] logotype and the dragon symbol; the [[Oneworld]] logo and the [[Swire Group]] logo.<ref name="Changeofimage"/><ref name=brandhk>{{cite web|title=Brand Overview – Background to Brand Hong Kong |url=http://www.brandhk.gov.hk/brandhk/en/view.htm |work=[[Brand Hong Kong]] |publisher=[[Government of Hong Kong]] |date=August 2007 |accessdate=4 July 2009 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090527013457/http://www.brandhk.gov.hk/brandhk/en/view.htm |archivedate=27 May 2009 |deadurl=yes |df=dmy }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Primary Signature|url=http://www.brandhk.gov.hk/brandhk/guidelines2003/eng/p4.pdf|format=PDF|work=[[Brand Hong Kong]]|publisher=[[Government of Hong Kong]]|date=February 2003|accessdate=4 July 2009|archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070129064333/http://www.brandhk.gov.hk/brandhk/guidelines2003/eng/p4.pdf |archivedate = 29 January 2007|deadurl=yes}}</ref>

The brushwing logo consists of a calligraphic stroke against a green background; the stroke is intended to appear like the wing of a bird. The previous logo, consisting of green and white stripes, was in place from the early 1970s until 1994.<ref name="Brushwingu"/>

Prior to 1997, all Cathay Pacific aircraft carried the British flag on the [[empennage]]. After the handover, aircraft carry the [[Brand Hong Kong]] logo and with ''HONG KONG'' or in Chinese ''香港'' under or beside the [[Brand Hong Kong]] logo instead of using the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) flag. In fact, the HKSAR flag has never appeared on any aircraft.

In November 2015, the airline revealed a refreshed version of its previous livery, featuring a simpler paint scheme while maintaining their trademark brushwing on an all-green tail.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Boicos|first1=Dane|title=Cathay Pacific's New Livery|url=http://journeypro.net/cathay-pacifics-new-livery/|website=Journey Pro|accessdate=23 December 2016|date=3 November 2015}}</ref> [[Boeing 777-300ER]] (B-KPM) was the first aircraft to wear the new livery.

[[File:CX Marco Polo Logo.png|thumb|alt=The Marco Polo Club logo|The Marco Polo Club logo]]

The Marco Polo Club is divided into four tiers, Green (entry level), Silver, Gold and Diamond, based on the member's past travel. A joining fee of US$100 is applicable for a Marco Polo Club membership. Members earn Club Points on eligible fare classes with Cathay Pacific, Cathay Dragon and [[Oneworld]] member airlines. These are used to calculate the member's eligibility for membership renewal, upgrade or downgrade during the membership year. Higher-tiered members are provided with increased travel benefits such as guaranteed [[Economy Class]] seat, additional baggage allowance, priority flight booking and airport lounge access. The Marco Polo Club membership is terminated after 12 months of inactivity or failure to meet minimum travel criteria as outlined in the membership guide and will be downgraded to Asia Miles member.<ref name=MPO>{{cite web|title=About Marco Polo Club|url=https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_HK/frequent-flyers/about-the-club/introduction.html|publisher=Cathay Pacific|accessdate=23 December 2016}}</ref><ref name="MPOT&C">{{cite web|title=The Marco Polo Club – Privacy and terms|url=https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_HK/frequent-flyers/about-the-club/privacy-and-terms.html|publisher=Cathay Pacific|accessdate=23 December 2016}}</ref>

===Ground handling===
[[File:Self Check-In Kiosks at the Hong Kong International Airport.jpg|thumb|upright|Self-check-in kiosks at Chek Lap Kok Airport|alt=Self-check-in kiosks]]

Beginning in 2007, Cathay Pacific launched more methods to check in for flights. Among them were self-check-in using a kiosk at [[Hong Kong International Airport]] and other select destinations and checking in via a mobile phone. Worldwide, only a limited number{{Clarify|date=February 2013}} of other airlines offer these options. Cathay Pacific also launched the airline's first ever mobile boarding pass application, dubbed CX Mobile. Passengers can use the application to check flight arrivals and departures, check in for their flights, and read about the destinations they are flying to using City Guides. CX Mobile has become a hit with passengers, making Cathay Pacific one of the industry leaders in offering mobile services to users of smart phones.<ref>{{cite news|last=Ko |first=Carol |title=Check-in on Cathay Pacific with mobile phones |url=http://www.mis-asia.com/news/articles/check-in-on-cathay-pacific-with-mobile-phones |publisher=MIS Asia |date=22 January 2009 |accessdate=2 September 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090130031215/http://mis-asia.com/news/articles/check-in-on-cathay-pacific-with-mobile-phones |archivedate=30 January 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{cite press release|url=https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_GB/about-us/press-room/press-release/2009/en_HK_pressrelease_82.html|title=Cathay Pacific emerges as industry leader with new mobile application|publisher=Cathay Pacific|date=1 September 2009|accessdate=23 December 2016}}</ref>

Cathay Pacific is also now following a trend among many airlines to improve its brand image to customers and shareholders with [[social media]], and is ranked fourth worldwide.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} The airline now uses a range of social media tools including Facebook, [[Flickr]], Twitter, YouTube and [[blogging]] to share ideas with customers.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cathaypacifichost.com/blog/ |title=Cathay Pacific Blog |publisher=Cathay Pacific |accessdate=22 August 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090831135256/http://www.cathaypacifichost.com/blog/ |archivedate=31 August 2009 |df=dmy }}</ref> In addition, it has launched a virtual tour to enable passengers to experience Cathay Pacific's new cabins and services without having to step aboard the aircraft.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://simpliflying.com/2008/experience-cathay-pacific-without-even-stepping-on-the-plane/|title=Experience Cathay Pacific without stepping on the plane|publisher=Shashank Nigam|accessdate=22 August 2009}}</ref>

On 4 January 2011, the cargo division of the airline, Cathay Pacific Cargo, became the first airline operating out of Hong Kong to fully switch to e-[[air waybill]]. This eliminates the need for all paper documents when issuing air waybills. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) selected nine countries and territories and airlines in which to run the e-AWB pilot program, including Hong Kong and Cathay Pacific.<ref>{{cite press release|url=https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_SA/about-us/press-room/press-release/2011/cathay-pacific-rolls-out-electronic-air-waybills-in-hong-kong-marking-important-step-in-transition-to-e-freight.html |title=Cathay Pacific rolls out electronic air waybills in Hong Kong, marking important step in transition to e-freight |publisher=Cathay Pacific |date=4 January 2011 |accessdate=23 December 2016}}</ref>

===Cabin===
Cathay Pacific has been phasing in new cabin interiors and in-flight entertainment since June 2011. The first aircraft with the new seats is an [[Airbus A330|Airbus A330-300]] registered B-LAN, which flew its first commercial flight as Cathay Pacific Flight 101 between Hong Kong and Sydney on 1 April 2012.

====Business class====
[[File:Cathay Pacific 77W business class seat.JPG|thumb|A business class seat on board the Boeing 777-300ER]]

After receiving extensive criticism for its high-walled [[Herringbone seating|herring-bone configuration]] business class seating on long-haul flights, which many passengers felt was too narrow and confined, Cathay Pacific embarked on a total redesign of business class seating. The new design is more conventional, emphasising the passenger's sense of personal space while also retaining privacy.

The new business class seats will be fitted into all new [[Airbus A330-300]] and [[777-300ER|Boeing 777-300ER]] deliveries, with existing [[Airbus A330|A330-300]] and [[Boeing 777|777-300ER]] aircraft upgraded to the new seating and cabin by February 2013.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://downloads.cathaypacific.com/cx/press/cxw/pdf/New%20Business%20Class%20backgrounder.pdf | title=Cathay Pacific's New Business Class Factsheet | date=December 2010 | publisher=Cathay Pacific Airways | accessdate=12 December 2016 }}</ref> However, the [[Boeing 747-400]] and [[Airbus A340|Airbus A340-300]] aircraft will not be upgraded to the new seating and cabin due to the impending retirement of those planes; instead they will see a refresh of the old herringbone product. The new business class seats emphasise personal space and are equipped with a {{convert|15.4|in|cm|abbr=on}} PTV with AVOD.

The new Regional Business Class is provided on Cathay Pacific's [[Boeing 777]]s (excluding the [[Boeing 777|777-300ER]]) and selected [[Airbus A330-300]]s. Regional Business Class seats have {{convert|21|in|cm|abbr=on}} width and recline to {{convert|47|in|cm|abbr=on}} of pitch and feature electrical recline and leg rest.

It will have a large meal table, cocktail table, footrest, a 10.6-inch personal television, an in-seat power outlet, a multi-port connector for personal devices, and extra personal stowage space. The Premium Economy Class seat offers a higher level of comfort with more living space in a separate cabin before the Economy Class zone. Passengers will also receive an "environmentally friendly" amenity kit with dental kit, socks and eyeshade for use during the journey. Larger pillows and noise-cancelling headsets will be provided. The new Premium Economy cabin will be installed on most Cathay Pacific long-haul aircraft. The first Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A330-300 featuring Premium Economy Class has entered into service in March (substituting for regional aircraft) and scheduled service in April.

Starting in October 2012, the airline collaborated with Hong Kong lifestyle store [[Goods of Desire|GOD]] and introduced a new range of amenity kits for [[premium economy]] passengers. They are designed as collectibles with each bag being able to hook up to each other to form a wall-hanging accessory. The first two available are 'Joy' and 'Fortune, with designs that depicts Chinese gods relaxing in flight and of auspicious clouds respectively. The two types are available on outbound and inbound flights respectively. They include 90% recycled plastic bottles and toothbrush made mainly from biodegradable corn starch and cellulose.<ref>{{cite news|last=Drescher|first=Cynthia|title=Cathay Pacific's Amenity Kits are Down with G.O.D.|url=http://www.jaunted.com/story/2012/10/24/16501/789/travel/Cathay+Pacific's+Amenity+Kits+are+Down+with+G.O.D.|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130106044427/http://www.jaunted.com/story/2012/10/24/16501/789/travel/Cathay%2BPacific%27s%2BAmenity%2BKits%2Bare%2BDown%2Bwith%2BG.O.D.|archivedate=6 January 2013|accessdate=23 December 2016|work=Jaunted|date=24 October 2012|publisher=Condé Nast|deadurl=yes|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Cathay Pacific unveils new inflight amenity kits designed by G.O.D for premium and economy class passengers|url=http://www.incentivetravel.co.uk/news/airportairline/10123-cathay-pacific-unveils-new-inflight-amenity-kits-designed-by-g-o-d-for-premium-and-economy-class-passengers|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130725121651/http://www.incentivetravel.co.uk/news/airportairline/10123-cathay-pacific-unveils-new-inflight-amenity-kits-designed-by-g-o-d-for-premium-and-economy-class-passengers|archivedate=25 July 2013|date=24 October 2012|accessdate=23 December 2016|work=Incentive Travel & Corporate Meetings}}</ref>
