Hong Kong Airlines Chairman Hou Wei sent a letter to employees today (9th) stating that with the implementation of the merger and integration of departments, surplus employees need to make new arrangements, including voluntary long-term paid leave (Voluntary Long Pay Leave Scheme) and layoffs.

Airbus A320 will be grounded for one year from July this year.

All A320 pilots will be given long-term paid vacations, one month's fixed salary for six months' vacation, and two months' fixed wage for nine months' vacation. Details will be announced to the affected employees.

Hou Wei, chairman of Hong Kong Airlines, sent a letter to employees stating that the company is now at a critical juncture.

In the past two years, business has been severely affected by social unrest and the epidemic. In this challenging period, in order to keep the company alive and save work, cost-saving measures and unpaid leave plans have been implemented.

At the same time, the company accelerated its pace to adjust its business strategy to cope with the ever-changing market environment.

Hong Kong Airlines has also applied for government subsidies, but it can only provide a slight relief for the company.

He continued that the resumption of shipping has not improved, and the company's restructuring plan can no longer be delayed. Hong Kong Airlines must transform to a more streamlined and more efficient way to ensure continued operations in the challenging days of the future.

With the implementation of the merger and integration of the departments, the surplus employees under the new structure will need to make new arrangements, including voluntary long-term paid leave (Voluntary Long Pay Leave Scheme) and layoffs.

The unpaid leave plan will continue until further notice, and the company will also provide new remuneration packages.

To further save costs, all employees of Citygate Office will relocate to the Hong Kong Aviation Training Building (HKATA) before August 2021.

Hou Wei expects that the demand for annual tourism is low, and Hong Kong Airlines will maintain its active fleet at about eight Airbus A330s.

Airbus A320 will be grounded for one year from July this year.

All A320 pilots will receive long-term paid vacations, one month's fixed salary for six months' vacation, and two months' fixed salary for nine months' vacation. Details will be announced to the affected employees separately.

He deeply regrets the affected employees, but in order to protect the future of Port and Shipping, he must stick to this decision.
