Cathay let-down
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.CATHAY PACIFIC, the Hong Kong based airline, yesterday warned investors that it faced another tough year in 1999 as it reported a first- half loss of HK$175m (pounds 14m), against HK$1.07bn profit for the same period last year. The carrier said it was being hit by problems plaguing air cargo operations at Hong Kong's Chek Lop Kok airport, which opened in July.
The chairman, Peter Sutch, also denied that there were any plans for Cathay to take a stake in British Airways, or for BA to take a stake in Cathay.
