The airline was founded in 1946 by Roy Farrell and Sydney de Kantzow, from America and Australia, respectively. Both founders were ex-Air Force pilots who served during World War II. Originally based in Shanghai, they moved to Hong Kong after the first few months of operation. Cathay Pacific’s first aircraft was a Douglas DC-3 nicknamed Betsy, running commercial freight services between China and Australia. Today, Betsy is displayed as a permanent exhibition at the Hong Kong Science Museum.
