Cathay Pacific has fired three cargo pilots who were infected with COVID-19 during a layover in Frankfurt, Germany, citing a “serious breach” of crew requirements while overseas as the primary basis for their dismissal.
The Hong Kong flagship airline said in a statement on Nov. 18 that “the individuals concerned are no longer employed” with the company after an internal investigation revealed that they were involved in a “serious breach” of procedures during “overseas layovers”.
