Chapter 340: Suspension of Flights

While all parties were negotiating, passengers stranded at Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong became increasingly dissatisfied with the airport and Cathay Pacific as time went on. In particular, some passengers with urgent matters kept questioning the airport staff.

In particular, nearly half of Cathay Pacific Airways personnel have switched jobs to Hong Kong Airlines, and after the news spread that a third of Cathay Pacific Airways flights may not be able to take off, these passengers waiting for the flight became more and more emotional.

Some right-wing media outlets, led by Oriental Daily, feared that the influence of the situation would not be great enough, and deliberately interviewed stranded passengers and airport staff here.

Naturally, they did not target Li Guang's Heung Kong Airlines, but deliberately directed the emotions of these people towards Cathay Pacific Airways, and also directed the emotions of passengers to several shareholders behind Cathay Pacific Airways.

Oriental Daily and other newspapers have a very clear purpose, that is, they hope to block the shareholders behind Cathay Pacific Airways and cause public opinion offensive from all walks of life in Hong Kong, which is very good.

At noon, Wally Kanter and Cao Guangbiao arrived at the airport and explained that the flight could not take off.

In the departure hall, Cao Guangbiao said: "Dear passengers, on behalf of Cathay Pacific, I would like to express my sincere apologies to all of you for the suspension of some flights. Due to a number of factors, we had to suspend some flights. At the same time, the airport has opened a refund window, you can go to the ticket purchase hall for refund, and we will double the refund to you this time to compensate for your loss this time. ”

After Cao Guangbiao finished speaking, some passengers were satisfied with Cathay Pacific's double refund of their tickets, but some people who were in a hurry were not satisfied. They're going to be busy with their errands, and you just stop when you say so, and the loss they lose because of this delay is not something that this money can make up.

As a result, some passengers started shouting, making it very clear that they didn't need a refund from Cathay Pacific and that they wanted their Cathay Pacific flight to depart on time.

Wally Kante calmed everyone down and said: "The cause of this time is also clear to everyone, Cathay Pacific Airways does not have enough personnel to make so many flights operate, and we can't make the crew tired to work, that is irresponsible for the safety of you and the crew. ”

After Wally Kanter finished speaking, some passengers who were not too anxious began to leave the waiting hall one after another and went to the ticket purchase hall for refund processing. But those who are anxious to travel to other regions are still reluctant to leave the area to process refunds, and it is hoped that Cao Guangbiao and Wally Kanter can solve this problem for them.

After waiting for a while, Cao Guangbiao and Wally Kanter saw that there were passengers who were in a hurry to leave Xiangjiang, and they also came up with a solution.

Cao Guangbiao said: "If you are really in a hurry, we still have a small number of remaining tickets on some flights to Taipei and Japan, and you can transfer after you get to these areas." The airport has opened a special ticket purchase channel for you, please go with Ms. Wang next to me to handle it. ”

These two have long planned to double the return of those who are not particularly urgent, and those who are really in a hurry to leave, they also arranged for the airport to stop the sale of all tickets for the afternoon flight, which is just for them.

After Cao Guangbiao and Wally Kanter dealt with the passengers, they went to the office of the airport superintendent to discuss which flights Cathay Pacific would suspend next.

Wally Kanter said: "Mr. Cao, I don't know which routes your company plans to stop, so we can also refund the tickets that have been pre-sold in the near future." ”

Cao Guangbiao himself also let the company discuss, and at noon, it had been determined and reported to him.

"We plan to temporarily suspend flights to Vancouver, Sapporo, San Francisco and Jakarta, and then restart them when our staff resumes," Cao said. ”

Rod Klin, the person in charge of the airport, does not want Cathay Pacific to suspend its routes in the past few days, and the flight routes opened by Xiangjiang Airlines in the past two days have come out, and he hopes that some routes of Cathay Pacific can be staggered with Xiangjiang Airlines.

Rod Kling said: "Mr. Cao, Heung Kong Airlines will have direct flights to Los Angeles and London tomorrow, and flights to Tokyo, Taipei, Bangkok and Singapore the day after tomorrow. ”

Cao Guangbiao and Wally Kanter have been thinking about solving the problem of stranded passengers, and it is really unclear that Hong Kong Airlines will have planes to open routes so soon.

Especially Cao Guangbiao, he saw the attitude of Heung Kong Airlines and Li Guangyu towards Cathay Pacific Airways, which was obviously planned for a long time, and they Cathay Pacific became the target of the Li consortium's key suppression.

Thinking that in the morning, a group of people still wanted to ask people to go to Lee Guang Woo to intercede so that he could help Cathay Pacific, but I just thought it was a joke. As far as Li Guangyu's preparations are concerned, how can they help Cathay Pacific, this time Li Guangyu and Xiangjiang Airlines are preparing to knock them to the ground at one time, so that Cathay Pacific is unable to compete with them.

Wally Kanter didn't care about this, he knew that this time it must have been Lee Guangyu who had been prepared, and the governor was the driving force. If the governor does not look for Li Guangyu, Hong Kong Airlines will definitely not make such an early move, and they will definitely wait for the fermentation of public opinion in Hong Kong to hit the reputation of Cathay Pacific.

Wally Kanter asked: "Where did the planes of Hong Kong Airlines come from, the two major airlines didn't deliver so quickly, right?"

Rod Kling reported the origin of the Heung Kong Airlines plane to Wally Kanter.

After hearing this, Cao Guangbiao understood that Xiangjiang Airlines and their Cathay Pacific will be mortal enemies in the same city for a long time in the future, and if you look at their preparations, you will know that in order to further attack their Cathay Pacific, Xiangjiang Airlines even used the lease, and Airbus even misappropriated the planes delivered to Paris and West German Airlines to Xiangjiang Airlines, and Li Guangyu must have paid a lot of price.

Cao Guangbiao did not want to agree to this request, other routes are much better than these days, especially the Taipei and Tokyo routes, which he will never agree.

Cao Guangbiao said: "Mr. Klin, the reason why we stopped these routes is to use our limited manpower for more flights. As you know, on ultra-long-haul flights, there are two sets of crew members, which is too much pressure on us at the moment. Stopping these routes is the best option for us at the moment. ”

Rod Kling saw that Cao Guangbiao was unwilling, so he no longer persuaded him, you have the final say in the suspension of flights now, and it is not Cathay Pacific that wants to resume flights in the future.

Rod Kling said: "Mr. Cao, our airport will immediately issue an announcement that your four routes will be temporarily suspended, and please ensure the normal departure of other flights, our airport cannot afford to have such incidents happen frequently." ”

Cao Guangbiao didn't want such a thing to happen, and this time he was jointly cheated by Heung Kong Airlines and Swire Pacific Co., Ltd.
