The year saw the introduction of scheduled air services to Hong Kong by Vietnam Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines System, Aeroflot and Tower Air. As a result, the number of scheduled airlines serving Hong Kong increased to 50. During the year, these airlines operated about 1 130 direct round trip services weekly between Hong Kong and some 92 other cities. In addition to the scheduled services, an average of 250 non-scheduled flights were operated by both scheduled and non-scheduled airlines each week.
