They visited the airline’s cargo facility to see first-hand how supply chains work in practice, as part of the 'supply chain management' module from both degrees.
Professor David Mackay said: 'Cathay Pacific is a Hong Kong-headquartered, highly regarded multi-national operation of significant scale.'
'We are delighted that the students had the opportunity to witness their facilities and processes first-hand. This sort of activity gives students a real appreciation of the challenges and benefits of effective supply chain management.'
