Bomb hoax

Bomb hoax

I am writing in reference to your article titled Bomb hoax
delays Cathay Pacific (Jan. 31, 1997) which appeared on Page 3.

I would like to clarify this matter by confirming that Cathay
Pacific Airways did not receive any threatening phone calls of
any nature concerning any of its flights to or from Indonesia on
Thursday, Jan. 30, 1997.

We understand that the Airport Authority offices at Cengkareng
airport received a threat by telephone, but this call did not
make any specific reference to Cathay Pacific Airways.

We are disappointed that your reporter did not attempt to
verify the facts with us.
