Cathay threatens to fire staff over 'illegal' HK protests
"Cathay Pacific Group has a zero tolerance approach to illegal activities. Specifically, in the current context, there will be disciplinary consequences for employees who support or participate in illegal protests," Mr Hogg wrote.Shares in the Hong-Kong based airline fell more than 4% on Monday, leaving them on track to close at a decade-low.
Cathay Pacific suspended a pilot who has been accused of rioting after allegedly participating in the Hong Kong protests, following a directive from China's aviation regulator last week. In a statement, Cathay Pacific said it"wishes to make it clear that we express no view whatsoever on the subject matter of any proceedings to which he may be subject".Related Topics
