Manchester Airport marks anniversary of direct Hong Kong service

Manchester Airport and Cathay Pacific have collaborated with a local North West UK artist, Rob Pointon, to celebrate one year of Cathay Pacific flying to Hong Kong from Manchester Airport.

Rob has been over to Hong Kong from Manchester to paint crowd scenes on the streets of Hong Kong, flying courtesy of Cathay Pacific. Rob exhibited a number of these Hong Kong paintings in Terminal Two (next to the Cathay Pacific Ticket Desk), as well as painting a live check in scene in Terminal Two yesterday morning.
