Fly747 I don't confess to knowing much about the rules of the HK stock exchange... but why suspend traiding today, when the 777 order was almost 2 weeks ago?
Edit
Here is what was on the HKex website.....
At the request of Cathay Pacific Airways Limited (the "Company"),
trading in its shares has been suspended with effect from 2:30pm today (14/12/2005) pending release of an announcement relating to a major transaction of the Company involving acquisition of aircraft as already announced on 1 December 2005.
