| | Cathay adds flights on Denpasar-HK route
Aug 10, 2006
Cathay Pacific of Hong Kong says it added four flights to its Denpasar-Hong Kong service on July 1 to meet the growing demand from tourists for flights to the resort island of Bali.Marketing and passenger sales manager Anthony Hanjaya said Wednesday that with the additional four flights, Cathay now had 11 flights serving the Denpasar-Hong Kong route per week. The additional flights, using Airbus A330-300 aircraft, depart at 9.10 a.m. from Denpasar and arrive at 2 a.m. in Hong Kong on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, and depart Hong Kong and arrive in Denpasar at the same times on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Mondays. "The ticket price is US$520 and we regularly offer special discounts," said Anthony. He added that after the first Bali bombings in 2002 and the second bombings in 2005, many airlines were reluctant to increase the frequency of their services to Bali due to lack of tourist demand. Bali Tourist Board figures show that in April this year, the number of foreign tourists arriving in Bali stood at 103,866, down by more than 10 percent from the corresponding month in 2005. "We believe that the reluctance of other airlines to increase flights is an opportunity for us," said Cathay's marketing and loyalty assistant manager, Ida Sylviana Bekti. "In fact, the number of our passengers from Hong Kong to Bali continues to increase. Our flights, each of which can carry 311 passengers, are usually 89 percent occupied," she said. According to Sylviana, the majority of the airline's passengers were European tourists, followed by Koreans and Japanese. She added that many European, Korean and Japanese tourists used Hong Kong to transit on the way to their final destinations. Currently, Cathay has 29 flights connecting Indonesia and Hong Kong -- 11 from Jakarta, 11 from Denpasar and four from Surabaya. Its service between Denpasar and Hong Kong began in 1970 but was discontinued in 1971 before resuming in 1986 with two flights per week. The airline increased the number of its flights to three per week in 1997 and commenced daily flights in 1998. Currently, Cathay operates 99 aircraft consisting of Boeing 777-300s, Boeing 777-200s, converted Boeing freighters, Boeing 747-400 freighters, Boeing 747-200s, Airbus A340-300s, Airbus A330-300s and Airbus 340-600s. Earlier, Cathay announced a plan to increase its fleet. It has ordered 35 aircraft this year, including one Boeing 777-300 to be delivered in September 2007, four in 2007, five in 2008, five in 2009 and three in 2010 |
