Cathay Pacific has unveiled its newly redesigned flagship lounge, The Wing, First, at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA). Slated to officially reopen on April 22, 2026, the space marks a new chapter in the airline’s global flagship lounge design, as part of a broader enhancement plan across Hong Kong and other major cities across the world.
Located on the east side of Terminal 1, The Wing, First has been a cornerstone of Cathay Pacific’s ground offerings since HKIA’s opening in 1998. The redesigned lounge continues the airline’s collaboration with London-based design firm StudioIlse. The reimagined lounge blends contemporary design and residential comfort, retaining its warmth and familiarity.
Cathay Group Chief Executive Officer Ronald Lam said, “The Wing, First has long held a special place in not only our hearts, but also our customers’. Its reopening marks an important milestone in the evolution of our flagship lounge design and reflects our long-standing commitment to putting people at the heart of everything we do.
