THE pilot's union of Cathay Pacific is urging a government inquiry into the Hong Kong carrier's management of widespread flight cancellations, reports Bloomberg.
The union attributes the current challenges to significant job cuts implemented during the pandemic's peak.
"Any such review must examine the root of Cathay's problems, which lie in the decisions made by management in 2020," said Hong Kong Aircrew Officers Association chairman Paul Weatherilt.
"Hong Kong aviation will continue to suffer until there is an acknowledgment of these mistakes and a change in leadership, particularly among those responsible for overseeing flight operations."
The union's request follows Hong Kong Transport Secretary Lam Sai-hung expressing deep concern to Cathay's senior executives regarding the flight cancellations.
