Personal mit Teilnahme an den Hong Kong Demos darf nicht mehr über, nach oder von China fliegen …
Cathay Pacific hat sich bei den Demonstrationen in Hong Kong sehr rausgehalten. Den Mitarbeitern wurde die Teilnahme freigestellt. Man konnte sogar Demos von Cathay Pacific Personal am Flughafen Hong Kong beobachten.
Die Civil Aviation Administration of China hat nun Cathay Pacific angewiesen, dass Personal mit Beteiligung an den Protesten nicht mehr nach, von oder über China fliegen dürfte.
“Beijing has ordered Cathay Pacific to stop aircrew who joined or supported illegal anti-government protests in Hong Kong from operating flights to mainland China or using Chinese airspace, firing its first warning shot at the city’s corporate giants.
In a statement issued on Friday night, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) told Hong Kong’s flagship carrier that from Saturday, staff who had taken part in “illegal protests”, “violent actions” and “overly radical activities” in the city would not be fly to or from the mainland.
The regulator also made it clear that from Sunday the airline would have to submit identification details of all aircrew operating all services using mainland airspace.
Flights that did not have CAAC-approved crew lists would not be allowed to use Chinese airspace, it said.”
Die Reaktion von Cathay Pacific:
“The safety of our passengers is always the top priority of Cathay Pacific. There is zero tolerance for any inappropriate and unprofessional behaviour that may affect aviation safety. We deal with these incidents very seriously.”
