Two ANA flights between Hong Kong and Tokyo were cancelled yesterday when a pilots' strike went into its third day, forcing 450 passengers to transfer to other airlines.

All Nippon Airways Hong Kong administration manager Takashi Shibata was uncertain when the strike, over pay, would end or whether more flights would be cancelled.

If necessary, passengers would be flown on other airlines. Yesterday, most flew with Cathay Pacific while others flew ANA to Osaka.
