- Story Text:Hong Kong's flagship carrier Cathy Pacific Airways Ltd said on Monday (May 22) it would sack nearly 600 staff as the first step in a reorganization plan as the airline looks to return to profitability.
Some 190 management jobs will be cut while a further 400 non-management staff will lose their jobs, with most notified over the next month, the company said in a statement.
Cathy Pacific said the cuts, representing 25 percent of management staff and 18 percent of non-managerial positions at its Hong Kong head office, were the first step in a three-year program announced this year.
The airline said no frontline employees, cabin crew or pilots would be affected by the job cuts announced on Monday because Cathay Pacific was still growing, but staff in those positions would be asked to deliver productivity improvements. - Copyright Holder: FILE REUTERS (CAN SELL)
