It’s a showpiece that helps you feel connected while ensuring your safety. Enjoy the video and safe travels! Cathay Pacific Airways reveals its new inflight safety video that takes customers through important inflight safety procedures set against the dynamic backdrop of Hong Kong….

Told through the electrifying energy and vibrancy of the airline’s home city, the video was developed in close collaboration with the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) and the Civil Aviation Department (CAD) to embody all necessary safety protocols while educating customers in an informative and engaging way.

The safety demonstrations in the video are interwoven with the unique charms of Hong Kong, capturing the city’s iconic landmarks, bustling happenings, world-class arts and cultural attractions, natural landscapes and more.

Scenes were shot at various locations across the city to showcase the best of Hong Kong. Customers are transported to a dai pai dong, the quintessential local dining experience, for the “no smoking” announcement, before finding themselves amidst an exhilarating dragon boat race which provides the backdrop for the life jacket demonstration, while Shek O Beach sets the scene for the emergency and pre-takeoff procedures. Other locales include the shopping paradise of Causeway Bay, Xiqu Centre at the West Kowloon Cultural District, the iconic Peak Tram, Yau Ma Tei’s historic Tin Hau Temple and the serene Clearwater Bay Country Park, all of which culminate in a visually immersive experience for customers.

Although concept is quite similar to SQ- Singapore Airlines but very International Iconic it features many numerous Hong Kong SAR’s Cultural Elements  from ancient to modern future of Chinese intangible Cultural Heritage.   – I think it’s great to showcase some of the amazing things about Hong Kong SAR, China, and People’s Republic of China. What I like especially is the backdrop of Hong Kong SAR is there, yet the director makes sure to zoom in and hone in on the safety details like the life vest and oxygen mask- it’s not just a safety video glossing over the safety aspects. Well done Cathay

Music is a unifying language that brings people together by transcending cultures and boundaries. We’re delighted to present Song of Cathay, a musical odyssey that moves us emotionally and forward. Our uplifting, inspirational and journey-like composition, crafted by leading sonic design agency, Sixième Son, is inspired by the vibrancy of Hong Kong as well as our love for travel and aviation. Performed by Asian Youth Orchestra, the piece articulates the warm sense of hospitality and the spirit of adventure. Delve into our creation process behind Song of Cathay, and discover how we put together a tune that evokes your fond memories of travel through our #MoveBeyond spirit.
” We proudly present the debut live performance of Song of Cathay by The Asian Youth Orchestra (AYO). Scored to inspire —— with its atmospheric tones, pentatonic structure, and influences from the Heart of Hong Kong, Song of Cathay is an auditory expression encapsulating one unifying goal—to capture our #MoveBeyond spirit and lift us all forward.”

Also  loving Really this version, not only because it shows Hong Kong and its culture but also because, unlike similar videos made by other airlines, Cathay keeps the emergency evacuation part delivered in a very straight, direct, and serious way, which is very critical…..
