Top Eastern Airports executives fired over COVID-19 resurgence

NANJING -- Two top executives of Eastern Airports that oversee the Nanjing Lukou International Airport have been fired, according to the provincial government of Jiangsu.

Chairman of the Board Feng Jun and General Manager Xu Yong were removed from their positions after a mid-July COVID-19 outbreak at the airport resulted in the spread of the virus to other parts of China.

The two executives had previously been put under disciplinary and supervisory investigation by the anti-graft body of East China's Jiangsu province.
