TT: According to a report in the `South China Morning Post' on Wednesday, Dragonair will spend up to US$150 million to buy three to five regional jets to expand its network within China to include smaller destinations. Is this the case?

Hui: Dragonair has for some time been studying the viability of operating small jets to mainland destinations. The study is ongoing and therefore no decision on deploying such aircraft has been made. Dragonair has always operated services on the basis of market demand and this continues to be the case.
