HK to Increase Air Transport Service in Summer

One hundred and forty-seven more scheduled passenger and cargo services to and from Hong Kong will be offered by airlines on a weekly basis in the summer season of 2000, said a spokesman for the Civil Aviation Department of Hong Kong on March 25.

In the new season from March 26 to October 28, most of the new passenger services will operate between Hong Kong and cities in the Asia-Pacific Region and in the mainland and a total of 63 airlines will offer passenger and cargo services from Hong Kong to nearly 130 destinations worldwide.

"With the additional number of scheduled services offered by airlines, the total number of flight movements at the Hong Kong International Airport will rise to more than 3,400 per week," the spokesman said.
