The CAD is highly concerned about HKE's decision to cancel 18 scheduled flights in early October, which is a peak season for travel. After being notified in the afternoon on September 28, the CAD has taken a number of measures within a short period of time to minimise inconvenience and disturbance to the affected passengers, which included tasking the Executive Chairman and President of HKE to attend to the matter personally so as to ensure that every affected passenger would be taken care of properly; summoning its management several times and urging them to safeguard the interests of the travelling public, and to contact the affected passengers and explain to the public the situation as soon as possible; and contacting and seeking help from other local airlines to provide services to passengers in need.
I guess the failed Jetstar Hong Kong venture is now having the last laugh.
