Air Do sets up smokers' seats to attract passengers

TOKYO, Japan - Financially troubled Hokkaido International Airlines Co., commonly known as Air Do, gives notice to passengers at Tokyo's Haneda airport that from Dec. 1 one-fourth of seats on its Sapporo-Tokyo route will be allocated for smokers. The company apparently believes this will bring it more passengers. Air Do, a relatively new airline, was at first very successful with its lower fares but Japan's three major airlines have cut their fares on the Hokkaido route and won back many passengers.
