The infant, reported by Chinese media to be a four-month-old girl, was found unconscious onboard the CX256 service from Heathrow on Sunday.
It is believed the baby was suffering from "gastrointestinal problems," Apple Daily reported.
The jet was diverted to Kazakhstan, where medics confirmed the child's death.
Cathay Pacific told ITV News the baby's parents took their baby's body to Hong Kong, where they were headed to visit relatives.

Cathay Pacific confirms that an infant who travelled from London to Hong Kong on CX256 on 16 April 2016 was found unconscious during the flight and sadly passed away despite emergency medical treatment.
Medlink services were consulted and as advised, the flight was diverted to Almaty Airport in Kazakhstan so that immediate medical attention could be provided.
Upon landing, the infant was diagnosed by the local medical officers. The family continued their journey to Hong Kong with the infant on CX256.
