Hong Kong’s Cathay Pacific seeks to rehire airline staff sacked amid Covid-19

Hong Kong flag carrier Cathay Pacific has asked employees sacked during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic to re-join the airline, saying it was the “right time to begin rebuilding” the team as flights resume gradually after the fifth wave of infections ebbed.

In an internal email sent on Tuesday, acquired by HKFP, Cathay invited its ex-employees to submit a “priority application” to fly with the airline again. Many were dismissed in a large-scale redundancy exercise in October 2020 owing to the “devastating impact” of the Covid-19 outbreak on international travel.
