Cathay Pacific warned by regulator

The Civil Aviation Administration of China on Friday issued a warning to Cathay Pacific Airways in Hong Kong for a number of recently exposed safety and security risks.

The administration said some flight personnel of Cathay Pacific had participated in violent acts and were charged for related crimes, but they were not being banned from aviation activities. Some passengers' information has also been maliciously leaked.

Such practices have shown that there have been hidden dangers to aviation safety and security, and there are increased aviation risks from Hong Kong to the mainland, the regulator said in a statement.
