Cathay Dragon flying to the USA soon:
DRAGON AIRLINES ORDERS 3 MCDONNELL MD-11S
Jan 04, 1987
McDonnell Douglas Corp.'s newest baby, the wide-bodied MD-11, has scored an Asian sales success with an order for three from Hong Kong Dragon Airlines Ltd.
The US$100 million aircraft will be used on long-haul routes that Dragonair hopes to develop to the United States and Europe.
Most of its plans have been opposed by Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd., and subsequently rejected by officials.
The airline also planned services to the United States in 2005, at first with cargo flights and Sydney with passenger flights.
On 28 September 2006, Dragonair became a wholly owned subsidiary of Cathay Pacific, services to United States and Sydney have been cancelled and terminated.
