BA assigns new manager

JAKARTA (JP): British Airways has appointed Claire Hatton
as its country manager for Indonesia, replacing David Jones.

The company said here yesterday that Hatton, the first female
executive to hold such a position in the track of the airline's
Far East Asia operation, took up her new position with strong
management experience across all sectors of the airline and
throughout Asia and Britain.

Hatton who graduated from Britain's Cardiff University,
replaced David Jones. After five and a half years as Indonesia's
country manager, Jones is now a manager based at British Airways'
headquarters in London.

British Airways currently links Jakarta and London five times
per week. The airline plans to add regular daily flights starting
in the third quarter of 1998. (icn)
