Hong Kong airline plans to cut 6,000 jobs

The company also intends to close its subsidiary Cathay Dragon

The "Cathay Pacific Aviation" company, based in Hong Kong, plans to cut 6000 jobs and close its subsidiary "Cathay Dragon", as part of a strategic review to confront the sharp decline in demand due to the outbreak of the "Corona" virus, according to the newspaper "South China Morning".

The newspaper said that this plan is expected to be announced after the end of the stock market session on Wednesday.

The company had planned to cut 8,000 jobs around the world, but government intervention contributed to reducing the number of jobs that would be cut, including 5,000 in Hong Kong.
