On 21st October, FlyWithPride, the Cathay Pacific Group's LGBT+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, plus) employee network, hosted its first picnic day at Hong Kong's Pink Dot Festival. Now in its fifth year, Pink Dot is Hong Kong's largest diversity event: a free carnival and outdoor concert organised for the LGBT+ community, their families, friends and colleagues in support of inclusiveness, diversity, and respect. Over 12,000 people attended the event in West Kowloon Art Park.

This is the first year that Cathay Pacific has sponsored Pink Dot and it is planning to have a larger presence at next year's event, demonstrating its support for diversity and equality in the airline's home city.
