The challenge

Connect the airline’s place in Hong Kong’s history with a new chapter for the city and its rugby tournament.

The idea

A Cathay A350 flew a specially approved route recalling the old Kai Tak approach. A live broadcast with pilot commentary brought the flight into the new stadium, while photographs and film let more people experience the moment.
