Cathay Pacific Airbus A350-1000 · B-LXI

About This Photo

The primary subject is a Cathay Pacific wide-body aircraft, identified as an Airbus A330-300, parked at a terminal gate. The aircraft is oriented with its nose to the right, stationary on the apron with gear extended. The white fuselage features the "Cathay Pacific" text near the front and a green tail fin displaying the airline's distinctive white brushwing logo. The registration number "B-LXI" is visible on the rear fuselage along with the Hong Kong flag and "Swire" branding. The aircraft is connected to a passenger boarding bridge, and ground support equipment including baggage carts and service vehicles are positioned nearby, indicating active ground handling. In the secondary subjects, several airport ground vehicles such as baggage tugs, cargo loaders, and utility vans are visible around the aircraft. Behind the plane, a large modern glass terminal building with multiple jet bridges stretches across the scene, marked prominently with a gate number "G6." Containerized cargo pallets wrapped in plastic are stacked on the apron near the plane. The scene is set in clear daylight with soft sunlight, casting long shadows, under a mostly clear sky with some high clouds. The overall environment suggests a busy, well-equipped international airport apron with a flat operational surface and several tall light poles.
