Published: 30 October 2026 · 1 min read

What Happened

Cathay Pacific says around 53,000 bookings were affected after unauthorised access to reservation data held in Amadeus systems. Most affected records included passenger names, booking references and flight details, while a smaller group may also have had email addresses, phone numbers, travel-document details or frequent-flyer numbers accessed.

Key Takeaways

Cathay Pacific says there is no evidence that financial or payment information was accessed or that the exposed data has been misused. Its own systems and flight operations were not affected.
