According to Hong Kong media reports, the aviation industry is affected by the haze of the epidemic. Hong Kong Airlines has proposed a new round of unpaid leave plans to its logistics staff. Between November this year and March next year, employees will be reduced by 5% to 15% according to their ranks. Up to 4 days of unpaid leave per month.
The logistics staff of Hong Kong Airlines stated that the plan is voluntary. If the employees do not participate, the company will pay as usual, but if it does not get the support of the employees, the company cannot reduce costs. Hong Kong Airlines said frankly that whether to lay off employees depends on the degree of employees' participation in the unpaid leave program.
Hong Kong Airlines stated that it is committed to ensuring that the work of most of its employees remains unchanged. However, the implementation of travel restrictions in various places continues to severely damage its business, resulting in operations being reduced to several weekly passenger services and temporary cargo charter flights. In addition, the subsidy received from the government can only bring some relief to the business.

The spokesperson of the Hong Kong Airlines said that most of the pilots and cabin attendants agreed to participate in the plan; Hong Kong Airlines will closely monitor the market conditions, adjust the company’s business operations accordingly, and strive to When the situation improves, shorten the unpaid leave plan.
