The directors and managers of Hong Kong Airlines’ (HKA) have been served court orders related to management issues.
The airline have confirmed that it has received the orders, but adds in a statement that the orders are temporary, “pending further confirmation by the court and are subject to change”. “In any event, they do not affect the day-to-day operations of the airline,” HKA said. HKA has been in the spotlight after media reports about board departures and concerns about its financial health. On the 16th of April, Hong Kong’s airline licensing authority asked them again to clarify how it will improve its financial situation. Despite this crisis, HKA says in its latest statement that its operations will remain unchanged.“We continue to operate as normal and there are no changes to our management,” HKA adds.
It did not mention who brought the court orders against them, nor did it provide further details.
