How to read a Cathay Pacific flight number
Every Cathay Pacific flight number starts with CX, followed by up to four digits: that is the number on your booking confirmation and boarding pass. In flight plans the same flight carries the ICAO prefix CPA, and controllers address it as "Cathay". One thing to watch: codeshares. A ticket sold by another airline can be operated by Cathay Pacific and vice versa; live tracking follows the operating carrier's number, so if your search comes up empty, check the "operated by" line on your booking.

Frequently asked questions about Cathay Pacific
Where is my Cathay Pacific flight right now?
Search the flight number (CX plus digits) in the search box on this page. If the aircraft is airborne within receiver coverage, you will see its live status; before departure you will see the route.
Is my Cathay Pacific flight delayed or cancelled?
Check the flight number on this page for live status, but for rebooking, gate changes and cancellations the airline itself remains the authoritative source.
What do CX and CPA mean on Cathay Pacific flights?
They are two prefixes for the same airline. CX is the IATA code you see on tickets; CPA is the ICAO code used in flight plans and by air traffic control.
Does Cathay Pacific operate flights for other airlines?
Codeshare agreements mean a flight sold under another carrier's number may be operated by Cathay Pacific, and the reverse. Live tracking always follows the operating carrier's flight number; check the "operated by" line on your booking.
