_Themed Cabin Interiors and Limited-Edition Collectibles Make Maiden Flight to Chengdu
as Giant Pandas Soar Skyward as Tourism Ambassadors_

HONG KONG, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Since its debut in mid-March this year, 
the Panda Friends livery aircraft, jointly created by Hong Kong Airlines and Ocean
Park, has been warmly embraced by passengers worldwide as Hong Kong’s conservation
ambassador in the sky, carrying the city’s compelling stories and conservation ethos
to the world and showcasing the appeal of Hong Kong tourism to global audiences.
To further elevate the passenger experience, Hong Kong Airlines yesterday unveiled
a brand-new suite of Panda Friends-themed cabin interiors and bespoke collectibles,
debuting on board the carrier’s flight to Chengdu — the hometown of the giant panda—
where the six Hong Kong giant pandas will accompany travellers across the skies 
in an even more vivid and engaging form.

Hong Kong Airlines and Ocean Park were honoured to welcome a distinguished line-
up of guests to the Panda Friends Livery Aircraft Themed Flight Preview, including
Miss Rosanna Law, Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism; Mr Raistlin Lau, Under
Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism; Mr Liu Chun-san, Under Secretary for 
Transport and Logistics; Ms Vivian Cheung, Chief Executive Officer of the Airport
Authority Hong Kong; together with Mr Bruce Wang, Chairman of the Board of Directors
of Hong Kong Airlines; Mr Jeff Sun, President of Hong Kong Airlines; Mr Paulo Pong,
Chairman of the Board of Ocean Park Corporation; and Mr Ivan Wong, Chief Executive
of Ocean Park Corporation, who jointly witnessed this milestone occasion.

The fuselage design of the Panda Friends livery aircraft creatively incorporates
Ocean Park’s beloved IP characters, namely An An, Ke Ke, Ying Ying and Le Le, alongside
the Hong Kong-born giant panda twins — elder sister Jia Jia and younger brother 
De De. In the artwork, the six pandas set off from Ocean Park with their passports
and cameras in hand, taking on the role of tourism ambassadors as they journey around
the world with passengers on board.
