Cathay Pacific Airways is dangling allowances of up to HK$5,000 (US$640) a flight as a sweetener for pilots rostered on to fly in and out of mainland China, with ongoing Covid-19 curbs making it less appealing to work those routes.
The Hong Kong-based airline’s dedicated Chinese mainland operations have “been particularly onerous”, the company acknowledged in a memo that was distributed to pilots on Thursday and seen by Bloomberg News.
