Hong Kong’s Cathay Pacific Airways threatens to fire staff involved in protests, as the airline tries to placate Beijing and avert a boycott by its mainland Chinese customers
Hong Kong’s Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. threatened to fire staff involved in unauthorized protests against the city’s government, as the airline raced to placate Beijing and avert a boycott from its mainland Chinese customers.
The move underlined the delicate position in which Hong Kong’s deepening political crisis has placed the city’s flag carrier, which must also avoid alienating its local customer base and much of its own workforce, some of whom say they fear a purge of staff implicated for their involvement in the protests.
