Hi, I wonder if the Cathay Pacific 777's are fitted with GE90 engines or do they use Rolls-Royce engines? I know the usual engines used by the 777 are GE90's, I wonder if Rolls-Royce engines are an option for the aircraft.

All 777-300ER are fitted with the GE90.

Well when you think about it, Hong Kong is one of the biggest financial centres in Asia. "Asia's world city" seems appropriate.

hey, just wondering which part of Chep Lap Kok is this place situated, becuase it looks like quite a good place to take photos.

"Asia's World City" is the livery aka special paint job on this 777. Like Qantas has a 747-400 with a livery based on Aboriginal art(VH-OEJ, 'Wunala Dreaming') Special paint jobs sometimes are done for promotional reasons, also to celebrate milestones in an airline's history.

To Cathay Pacific, it does.
