HONG KONG, Nov 11 — Cathay Pacific has ordered 11 more Airbus jets with a list price of US$5.1 billion (RM20.8 billion), the Hong Kong airline said Wednesday.

The 11 A330-900 jets “will support the growth of Cathay Pacific’s regional network and provide it with more passenger and cargo capacity”, the company said in a press release.

Cathay put the list price at US$5.1 billion in a filing to the Hong Kong stock exchange.

But the carrier noted that the European plane maker had granted it “significant price concessions” and the final cost is expected to be lower.
