Cathay Pacific to launch Flights From Tokyo To Hong Kong

Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. said it added two flights from Tokyo to Hong Kong on Friday, and will add one daily flight from Tokyo between Saturday and Monday to help bring passengers back to the city.The additional five services will add more than 1,850 seats to some 9,700 seats already available on the airline's seven daily flights from Tokyo to Hong Kong during the four-day period, the Hong Kong-based carrier said.

Cathay Pacific has been adding flights to help passengers who want to flight back to Hong Kong from Tokyo, following the powerful earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan.The carrier's chief executive, Tony Tyler, said Thursday the airline will operate additional flights to and from Japan if necessary, and said it was too early to assess the long-term financial impact of the Japan disaster on the carrier.
