EVA Air clarifies

Herewith, we would like to further clear up misunderstandings arising from the article CAL, Eva review schedules in the Business and Investment section on page 9 of The Jakarta Post, Jan. 7, 1999. It stated that EVA Airways will drop its flights from and to Los Angeles on account of financial problems. This statement has confused our customers.

There are a few points that we would like to clarify:

1. EVA Air has no financial problems. In fact, EVA is projecting total revenues for 1998 of approximately US$1.32 billion, a growth of 11 percent compared with 1997 that will produce an after tax profit for the year of around $1.92 million.

2. EVA Air still operates its Taipei/Los Angeles/Taipei flights 14 times weekly.

3. EVA Air has only stopped the Kaohsiung/Los Angeles/Kaohsiung service starting Jan. 9, 1999 because of a flight schedule rearrangement.

We hope this explanation clears up the confusion.
