“I am appealing to each and everyone one of you to help,” Chief Eexecutive Augustus Tang told staff in a video recording
Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd has asked all its 27,000 employees to take three weeks of unpaid leave in coming months as it battles a fall in demand caused by a virus outbreak, the South China Morning Post said on Wednesday.
"I am appealing to each and everyone one of you to help," Chief Eexecutive Augustus Tang told staff in a video recording, the paper said.
On Tuesday the carrier said it planned to cut about 30 percent of capacity over the next two months, including about 90 percent of flights to mainland China.
