Cathay Pacific Airways Limited Annual Report 2001 9
SOUTH EAST ASIA AND
MIDDLE EAST
Most South East Asian markets were adversely
affected by the slowdown of the US economy.
This was partly offset by the greater propensity
to travel of overseas workers and Asian
emigrants visiting their home countries.
A new codeshare agreement was signed with
Philippine Airlines in November on the service
between Hong Kong and Cebu.
The Indian and Middle East markets performed
satisfactorily. The revenue picture was helped
by new services to Delhi and Riyadh, which
started during the year.
EUROPE
Load factors on European routes proved more
resilient in the face of the downturn than those
on any other routes. Yield declined, however,
due to the weakness of European currencies
against US dollar.
Our services to Zurich and Manchester were
suspended in the middle of the year. Services
to Istanbul were also temporarily suspended in
November.
PACIFIC AND
SOUTH AFRICA
Trans-Pacific traffic was badly affected by the
September incident, and a number of flights to
Los Angeles and Vancouver were suspended
as a result.
Australian and New Zealand markets performed
relatively well in terms of passenger numbers,
but yield was again under pressure due to the
weakness of local currencies.
Traffic to South Africa showed healthy growth,
despite currency weakness.
