Hong Kong’s Cathay Pacific aims for ‘survival’ as it grounds two-fifths of passenger fleet amid Covid-19 collapse in air travel


HONG KONG, Sept 14 (SCMP): Hong Kong’s Cathay Pacific has grounded two-fifths of its passenger fleet for the “foreseeable future”, warning it will not survive Covid-19 unless it restructures and adapts for a post-pandemic future.

Executive director Ronald Lam Siu-por said it was clear the 73-year-old airline was “facing a long and uncertain road to recovery” as it planned a sweeping restructuring that could be unveiled as soon as next month.
