CATHAY Pacific will be planting 20,000 mangrove trees in Southeast Asia this year to honor its commitment to plant a tree for every flight ticket purchased in the region during the 1 Ticket, 1 Tree campaign held in November 2022. This was announced at a tree planting event in Manila, Philippines, recently.

To commemorate Earth Day on April 22, 2023, volunteers comprising Cathay Pacific employees, trade agents and other partners will be gathering at various mangrove forests across Southeast Asia in April and May to kickstart the planting of mangrove trees in their respective countries. One of the first planting sites is in Hagonoy, Bulacan in the Philippines, where 8,000 mangrove trees will be planted. The remaining 12,000 trees will be planted in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam.
