I am greatly concerned by the likely upcoming two-week quarantine order and seven-day medical surveillance order for all long-haul aircrew landing in Hong Kong (“ Aircrew quarantine move coming soon, Cathay says, as industry urges rethink ”, January 27). Such a move from the Hong Kong government would further weaken our struggling aviation industry. To start with, no other Asian airports have introduced anything similar. Most of the other countries are only requiring the aircrews to stay in airport hotels, and they need to produce negative Covid-19 test results before flying. Restricting aircrew movement for up to 21 days will deeply hurt our home carrier Cathay Pacific, which is already burning cash and has most of its crew changes taking place in Hong Kong. With the Covid-19 vaccines already available to other flight crews, we need to ask ourselves whether we are overreacting and if there are better alternatives than this coming restriction on aircrews. To go ahead with this would definitely risk hurting our position as the No 1 air cargo throughput airport in the world. I am sure this position is already under pressure. Simon Yam, Mid-Levels
