HONG KONG—Hong Kong flagship carrier Cathay Pacific Airways said on Saturday two of its aircrew who have tested positive for the Omicron variant were sacked for breaching medical surveillance regulations.

Cathay said five of its aircrew had tested positive following their return to Hong Kong from duty, and investigation into the cases had indicated a serious breach of protocols by some of those individuals.
