Cathay Pacific sees the funny side after spelling its name wrong on side of airplane

By: Joe Curtis

Cathay Pacific sent a plane back to the painters today after spotting a typo in its logo adorning the side of the jet.

Travellers clocked the spelling error at Hong Kong International Airport and notified the airline, which said it would be giving the plane a hasty paint job.

Oops this special livery won’t last long! She’s going back to the shop!
