As the exclusive Founding Travel Partner at Kai Tak Sports Park, Cathay is committed to supporting the development of sports, arts and culture, and promoting mega events that put Hong Kong on the world stage. The Cathay-branded West Bridge is the latest initiative in Cathay’s partnership with KTSP, offering an audio-visual experience stretching close to 100 metres that transforms the walk between Sung Wong Toi MTR and the Kai Tak Stadium into a vibrant timeline.
The Cathay-branded West Bridge is the Greater Bay Area’s first aviation-themed audio-visual experience within a sports venue. Visitors to the West Bridge can enjoy a two-minute-long experience that captures Cathay’s early beginnings in the 1940s with its first aircraft “Betsy” taking off to the skies, the 1960s where Cathay soared through Kowloon City, and the ’80 and ’90s with customers flying to popular destinations around the world.
This transitions to the modern day, showcasing Hong Kong’s athletes who Cathay sponsors as they perform on the biggest stages, and its aircraft performing the iconic fly by at the most recent Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens to mark the event’s debut at Kai Tak Stadium. Along the way, memories of the old Kai Tak Airport’s legendary runway, sporting triumphs, and Cathay’s inspiring firsts unfold, ensuring that every visitor feels part of Hong Kong’s dynamic story.
Presented by Cathay, the “Taking off Again with Kai Tak” audio-visual experience will be open daily from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm from 12 November until 31 December 2025*. Visitors from Hong Kong and around the world are invited to immerse themselves in this extraordinary journey through time and explore the unique stories of Cathay, Kai Tak and Hong Kong.
