Aug. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Air China Ltd., the world’s biggest carrier by market value, is set to increase its stake in Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. by buying shares from Citic Pacific Ltd., according to three people familiar with the situation.
The transaction may be announced as early as tonight, according to one of the people, who declined to be identified before a public announcement.
All three companies suspended their shares from trading in Hong Kong today, pending price sensitive announcements. Air China and Citic Pacific both hold 17.5 percent stakes in Cathay Pacific, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

CX Airbus SOPs are clumsy. The manuals are cut and pasted from Airbus documentation. What is frightening is all the background information left out.
At KA it gives one man, the loaned CX chief pilot, an inordinate amount of power in determining operational procedures without account.
It is my understanding CX do not do command training or checking on Beijing sectors because their SOPs are dysfunctional. One example of a most absurd and unprofessional syndrome. Yet KA has to apply these procedures in everyday China operations whilst CX is pragmatically aware of their limitations in such!
I've flown Air China wet leases. Was always an easy day out for me. Just bring your own food. I'd welcome Air China SOPs over CX..

I guess I should be more specific. The problems with Air China are not their SOPs, it is a lack of adherence to them. This is second hand, I do not work for Air China and never have, but I do have it on pretty good account that the standard of adherence to the procedures is quite diverse. The other problem at Air China (and this is certainly not peculiar to them and the same could be said about CX) is the single pilot fast jet mentality that persists with the ex-mil pilots, who also tend to be in the left hand seat. Sure, the SOPs are fine, and so they should be as they are generic, but whether or not people actually follow them (and understand them) is another matter.
