	Dragonair
		Dragonair is a major airline based in Hong Kong.
		Dragonair started flying in July of 1985, with a Boeing 737, in a flight from Hong Kong International Airport to Kota Kinabalu[?] in Malaysia.
		Dragonair's planes are basically all white, with a red dragon on the tail, and the name Dragonair written in English dark lettering under the front passenger windows, and in Chinese red lettering over the front passenger windows also.

	Cathay seals US$1.05 billion buy-out of Dragonair - Boston.com
		Dragonair, which flies to 23 mainland cities including the lucrative Shanghai market, has in turn relied on Cathay to feed it international traffic bound for China.
		A Cathay takeover of Dragonair has long been seen as a compelling strategic case, but the complex and interlocking shareholdings between the two, as well as political and regulatory hurdles, have stood in the way of a deal.
		"Dragonair's long-term outlook was looking less rosy as more competition was coming into Hong Kong from the Chinese carriers, and they didn't really have the ability to leverage their marginal operations elsewhere in the region," Pinkham said.

	Passenger Opinions about Dragonair
		Dragonair are under pressure from China Eastern, when it comes to price on this route, but they are still the clear winner.
		Dragonair is a quality airline but within mainland China where this is not an option, I always try to fly Air China.
		Dragonair operates seven daily flights between Hong Kong and Shanghai, 6 of them on A330's and 1 on an A320.

	Airsider - Airline Industry News - The joys of uncertainty
		And the chiefs at Dragonair are very much aware that operators, airports and exporters next door in the Chinese mainland are eager to acquire more of that airfreight business for themselves instead of watching large and growing lumps of it funnel through Hong Kong.
		In the meantime, Dragonair chief executive officer Stanley Hui proudly points to record figures for the last quarter of 2005, with November’s cargo total at 35,529 tonnes and says December’s figure was more than 37,000 tonnes.
		But Hui wants one of Dragonair’s own 747-400s to fly to New York early in 2007, and his team is still analysing various combinations and permutations of aircraft and routes.

		The deal values Dragonair at roughly three times its book value, a sharp premium to other regional carriers, although analysts have said the attractiveness of Dragonair is the growth that can be achieved by merging into Cathay.
		A Cathay takeover of Dragonair has long been seen as strategically compelling, but the complicated and interlocking shareholdings between the two, as well as political and regulatory hurdles, have stood in the way of a deal.

	Why Dragonair Is a Bit Flighty
		Despite the obvious downside of Dragonair's web proposition, there is still plenty to be positive about; one should never be lulled into thinking that it's wise to wake a sleeping dragon with a bucket of cold water.
		For instance, Dragonair's holiday pages are extremely well presented and very eager to please, while the premier account and frequent flyer programs smack of an Asian drive for quality that is now so sadly lacking in many Western airlines.
		Dragonair's Cargo section offers a comprehensive and concise guide to its airfreight business, detailing everything from the obligatory conditions of carriage to the size of the containers used and the available space on each aircraft.

	Pokemon Crystal Pokémon of the Day: Dragonair (#148) - IGN FAQs
		Well Dragonair here is most certainly an exception; she's one of the single most gorgeous Pokemon in existence.
		It's kind of a shame that her Physical Attack is the greater of her two offensive stats, since all she can learn in that department are Normal attacks (and the markedly bad Iron Tail that is scarcely worth mentioning).
		I figure Dragonair could use a strong Physical Attack, since its Attack is its highest stat by far (okay, so 28 points isn't exactly a lot...but it sure seems like it when the rest of your stats are all within 10 points of one another).

	Cathay Pacific Close To Dragonair Takeover (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific Airways is close to announcing a takeover of smaller China-focused rival Dragonair in a deal reported to be worth USD$1.3 billion, sources familiar with the matter said.
		Cathay was in advanced talks to buy out the stakes in Hong Kong-based Dragonair held by Swire Pacific, CITIC Pacific and China National Aviation Co (CNAC) through a combination of cash and shares, the sources said, confirming a report in Hong Kong's Standard newspaper.
		The fact that Cathay is ultimately controlled by UK-based John Swire and Sons, a legacy of Hong Kong's days as a British colony, has been seen as a hindrance in its efforts to win a meaningful share of the booming mainland China market.

	Single Card Strategy: Dark Dragonair
		Despite this, Dark Dragonair has one of the best Pokémon Powers in the game, and this Pokémon should go into any deck that relies on Evolution cards to win a game, such as the Feraligatr decks and the old Blastoise Water Gun decks.
		But you don't need to use Dark Dragonair as your Active Pokémon to use its Power, so you can keep it safely on your Bench and use it to help you build up your fighting forces.
		And, if you are relying on Dark Dragonair to get several other Evolution Pokémon into play, I would put at least 3 Dark Dragonairs in your deck along with 4 Dratinis.
