The episode of the animated series included a scene referencing the 1989 protest crackdown. The airline says the content 'does not reflect' its standpoint.
Cathay Pacific has apologised after an episode of Family Guy depicting Tiananmen Square was included in inflight entertainment. The episode of the adult animated series - known for pushing boundaries - includes a scene referencing the 1989 protest crackdown, in which China's military violently suppressed massive pro-democracy protests. Cathay Pacific is Hong Kong's flagship airline.
' The airline said the content of its inflight entertainment system is managed by a third-party provider. 'We have consistently provided them with clear instructions to ensure that the recommended content meets our company standards. 'We have promptly informed the service provider of the seriousness of the incident, and have instructed them to thoroughly investigate the cause and strengthen oversight to ensure that similar incidents do not occur in the future.
