Cathay confirms purchase of 30 Airbus planes

Hong Kong's dominant air carrier Cathay Pacific Airways has agreed to buy 30 Airbus aircraft for about US$7.82 billion, amid a revival in international traffic.

Swire and Air China , which together own about 72 percent of the airline, have approved the transaction, Cathay said, according to Reuters.

The airline had already said in August that it intended to buy these A350-900 aircraft.
