Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. plans to hire about 5,000 people across the group in 2024 as flight capacity is gradually restored to pre-pandemic levels, the Hong Kong-based carrier’s chief executive officer said.

“Recruitment and training is really the key factor that we need to get right in order to achieve our goal for next year,” Ronald Lam told Bloomberg News at an Association of Asia Pacific Airlines meeting in Singapore on Friday.
