Notes:

[1600px] Cathay's very first A350-900 seen here parked up at gate 17 in London/Gatwick on just the second flight in - face to face with me. Gatwick has once been the airport that CX flew to in London, but has withdrawn services to the Sussex airport in October 1993. Now, three decades later, Cathay returned to LGW after the 5 daily Heathrow flights were found to be insufficient to meet the demands of the London market - but instead of the 747s that used to serve this route, their newest A350s will be utilized.
