Airlines changed a flight route between Asia and the U.S. earlier this year
because of fears over North Korean missile launches.
A spokesperson for the
airline told CNNMoney on Wednesday that it rerouted its daily flights between
the South Korean capital Seoul and Los Angeles after a North Korean missile
launch in July. It hadn't previously announced the changes before this week.
Flight paths in the region
are drawing attention after two other Asian carriers said that some of their
pilots believe they saw another ballistic missile North Korea tested last week.
Cathay Pacific (CPCAY) said
the crew of a flight from San Francisco to Hong Kong reported seeing what they
thought was the missile re-entering Earth's atmosphere on November 29. Korean
Air said the pilots on two of its flights bound for Seoul "saw a flash and
everyone is assuming it should be the missile because of the timing."

North Korea fired what is believed
to be the biggest and most powerful missile in its arsenal that day. Pyongyang
said the projectile flew as high as 4,475 kilometers (2,800 miles) before
plummeting down into waters off the western coast of Japan.
Singapore Airlines (SINGF)
said its flights don't travel "in the vicinity of the missile
trajectory" because of the route change it made to avoid the northern part
of the sea between the Korean peninsula and Japan.
The Cathay plane didn't
travel over that part of the sea either, according to flight tracking data. The
airline said that its flight was "far from the event location" and
unaffected by the missile -- but that the crew reported the sighting to air
traffic control in Japan in line with procedures.
"We have been in
contact with relevant authorities and industry bodies as well as with other
carriers. At the moment, no one is changing any routes or operating
parameters," Cathay said. "We remain alert and review the situation
as it evolves."
Korean Air didn't provide
details of the flights that saw the "flash," or say where they were
at the time of the event.
Singapore's route change in
July came after an Air France (AFLYY) flight passed just east of the splashdown
site of a North Korean missile test, roughly five to 10 minutes before the
weapon hit the water.
At the time, U.S. Defense
Department spokesman Jeff Davis warned that the missile North Korea "flew
through busy airspace used by commercial airliners."

Guidelines issued by the
International Civil Aviation Organization, a U.N. agency tasked with governing
air safety, state that nations have the "responsibility to issue risk
advisories regarding any threats to the safety of civilian aircraft operating
in their airspace."
South Korea says Pyongyang
regularly fails to issue notices to airmen when conducting missile launches.
Such notices are issued to warn pilots and airlines of potential risks during
their flights.
The chances of a plane being
struck randomly by a missile are "billions to one," according to CNN
aviation safety analyst David Soucie.
