Cathay adds Jakarta flights

HONG KONG: Cathay Pacific Airways said Tuesday it would
reinstate some flights to North America and Indonesia that were
cut back in response to the Sept. 11 terror attacks that
devastated the airline industry.

Cathay said its flights between Hong Kong and Los Angeles will
increase from seven to 10 a week as of June 1, while it will add
three more flights to Vancouver, for 14 per week.

Cathay also plans to add two more weekly flights to the
Indonesian capital of Jakarta, restoring daily service on that
route.

Cathay's director of corporate planning, Augustus Tang, called
it "a measured response to some signs of recovery in those
markets," but he warned that ticket prices remain low as carriers
compete to rebuild their businesses. -- AP
