Hong Kong’s Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. said on Monday it had lowered its passenger capacity forecast for the remainder of the year to 13 percent of pre-COVID levels, down from an earlier 30 percent target for the fourth quarter as travel restrictions linger.

The airline said it continued to target cash burn of less than HK$1 billion ($130 million) a month for the rest of the year.
