Pe 18 septembrie, dupa un zbor non-stop din Hong Kong, primul Boeing 777 construit (WA001, acum B-HNL) a iesit din flota Cathay Pacific si a intrat in posesia Muzeului Air & Space Pima din Tucson, Arizona.
Boeing-ul 777-200 a fost prezentat lumii intregi la Everett, in culorile producatorului american, pe 9 aprilie 1994, fiind primul avion Boeing fly-by-wire. Propulsat de motoare Pratt & Whitney PW4074, a operat primul zbor pe 12 iunie 1994. Dupa terminarea testelor, WA001 a fost tras pe dreapta la uzina Boeing din Everett in asteptarea unui client. In 2000, Cathay a cumparat avionul si i-a pus motoare Rolls-Royce Trent 877, intrarea in serviciul comercial avand loc in decembrie 2000 sub inmatricularea B-HNL. Layout: 42 locuri Business Class, 293 Economy.

De atunci si pana in iunie 2018, cand a fost retras din flota, a operat 20.519 zboruri si a acumulat 49.687 ore de zbor. Ieri, B-HNL a operat ultimul sau zbor, intre Hong Kong si Pima Air & Space Museum, Tuscon, Arizona. In cockpit s-au aflat comandantii Mike Evans si Nigel Best, respectiv copilotii Jesse Ziskie si Joshua Chong. La muzeu se mai afla expus, printre alte exponate, si un 787-8 Dreamliner All Nippon Airways.
