Hong Kong Airlines to stop Tokyo service with focus on regional routesAFP HONG KONG -- Hong Kong Airlines announced Friday it will end its services to Tokyo in January, after it suspended flights to Osaka last October, to “tighten” its focus on regional routes.
January 5, 2013, 12:06 am TWN The company will axe its route to the Japanese capital from January 10 allowing it “to better allocate resources in servicing more popular routes and strengthen its regional competitiveness,” a company spokeswoman told AFP by email. “There is a need to continue to tighten focus on routes in line with the company's regional strategy,” she said, adding the airline had carried 30 percent more passengers in 2012 than the previous year. The airline described the move as a “purely a commercial decision.” |
