Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. said it will show zero tolerance to employees who support or take part in illegal protests ahead of “planned activities” by trade union members around its operational hub Cathay City in Hong Kong on Aug. 26.
“Any activities that impact our ability to operate safely not only significantly disrupt the travelling public, but also jeopardize the safety of our customers and our employees,” the airline said in a statement Saturday. Hong Kong’s marquee carrier has come under pressure from mainland authorities after its employees earlier joined protests that originated from calls to resist a bill to allow extradition to the Chinese mainland.
