Cathay Pacific, in collaboration with renowned Hong Kong eatery VEDA by Ovolo, introduces an exclusive suite of plant-forward menus for Premium Economy guests.
On select long-haul journeys departing from Hong Kong, travelers in Premium Economy and Economy can now savor a diverse menu of thoughtfully crafted vegetarian dishes. Each meal is inspired by celebrated culinary traditions from around the globe, reflecting both creativity and nutritional balance.
This partnership builds on the "Plant’d" movement spearheaded by VEDA and Ovolo Hotels, underscoring a commitment to sustainable dining and innovative vegetarian fare at altitude.

Throughout 2025, Premium Economy passengers on designated Hong Kong flights can enjoy a rotating selection of these inventive vegetarian offerings, with dishes evolving seasonally to highlight peak ingredients.
