United Airlines responded to "Hong Kong 01" that it was planning to close three overseas flight attendant bases in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Japan and Frankfurt, Germany on October 1, affecting approximately 319, 300 and 200 flight attendants, respectively.

John Slater sent a letter to his employees that the impact of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic has greatly reduced the demand for tourism. In the current and future environment, it is difficult to maintain the three overseas bases, so it needs to be closed, describing this as a difficult decision. He also said that affected employees may be relocated to the base based on suitability for work in the United States.
