According to their official:

It has recently come to our attention that, without our authorisation, certain third party vendors have used Cathay Pacific’s 80th Anniversary logo, trade marks and brand elements for commercial use, and manufacture and offer for sale infringing merchandises via websites and social media channels.

⚠️ Please be advised:

Except for Cathay Shop, official collaborations and sales channels formally announced by Cathay Pacific, we have not authorised any third parties, websites, or social media accounts to use our Cathay Pacific logos, trade marks, brand imagery, or aircraft livery designs, nor to manufacture or offer for sale related infringing merchandises.

Cathay Pacific takes the protection of its brand and intellectual property seriously. We are actively pursuing appropriate legal action where necessary to safeguard our rights and to prevent consumer confusion. To protect yourself, please remain vigilant and refer only to information published on Cathay Pacific’s official platforms before making any purchase.

Oh my, does it mean JC, Aero Polaris, NG, Phoenix, Apollo, and whoever going to release the 80th livery models going to be in trouble? 1772169357238.png

 
I honestly don't get why airlines get mad abt this, basically free advertisement

Like do they get so much money or kickback or whatnot by authorizing manufacturers? to make model airplanes that sell for 50 bucks each?

If a model is licensed the airline is getting a % definitely. That is why they care.

However in my experience they don't care about the quality of licensed models so the angle that they are protecting consumers is largely BS.

Cathay have always been like this but in recent years seem to have had eased off on threats and such. Probably because they completely failed to stop people making models
