Scandinavian airline SAS reduces Hong Kong flights

SAS announced Monday it was reducing the number of flights to Hong Kong, as tourists shun the former British colony currently in the throes of nearly 6 months of pro-democracy protests. The carrier said it was decreasing its 5 weekly flights from Copenhagen to 4 "due to a drop in demand in November," a spokeswoman said. "We are continuing to monitor the situation," SAS said, adding that the airline plans to resume the regular number of flights during the Christmas and New Year holidays. Finnair indicated that it will maintain its 2 daily flights between Helsinki and Hong Kong. "We continue with 2 daily flights between Helsinki and Hong Kong, and at the moment we have no plans in reducing capacity," a Finnair spokesman said. <br/>
