Hong Kong Airlines said on Feb. 7 that it will slash 400 jobs and cut operations given weak travel demand because of the coronavirus outbreak, adding to financial woes for the city’s second-largest carrier.

The South China Morning Post first reported about the airline’s plans to cut about 10 percent of its workforce.
