(CNN) — Sometimes, a massive typo is right in front of your eyes and you can’t see it.
For Hong Kong-based airline Cathay Pacific, it was between the “i”s — on the livery of its Boeing 777-367.
In a move that’s had the Internet asking “WTF?” (“Where’s the F?”), photos emerged Wednesday morning appearing to show a plane on the tarmac at Hong Kong airport, proudly emblazoned with the words “CATHAY PACIIC.”
And to prove that they’re good sports, if not good spellers, Cathay Pacific saw the funny side by sharing the photos on social media, announcing on its Twitter account, “Oops this special livery won’t last long! She’s going back to the shop!”
An engineer for Haeco, a Cathay Pacific subsidiary, told South China Morning Point, “The spacing is too on-point for a mishap. We have stencils. Should be a blank gap in between letters if it was a real mistake I think.”
Twitter users were quick to savor this most titanic of typos.
While a full report of this mysterious incident is not yet available, Cathay Pacific told CNN Travel, “We are not having many chances to have such ‘limited edition,’ right?”
