Hong Kong carrier Cathay Pacific said on Wednesday that its attributable profit rose slightly in 2024 to US$1.27 billion, after announcing earlier this year that its flights were finally back to pre-pandemic levels.

However, Cathay Pacific warned about the potential implications of trade conflicts originating in other countries in 2025.

Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific Airways reported a marginal rise in its full-year profit on Wednesday, following a stronger second half due to a holiday-season boost in travel demand and lower fuel prices.
