Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd will suspend flights to and from Japan for three weeks after the Japanese government tightened quarantine rules on people arriving from Hong Kong.
Flights to and from Hong Kong and four Japanese airports and cities — Tokyo’s Haneda airport, Fukuoka, Nagoya and Sapporo — will stop from Monday until March 28, and halted for Narita airport and Osaka’s Kansai airport from March 13, the carrier said.
Japan said travellers from China, including Hong Kong and Macau, as well as South Korea will be quarantined for 14 days. It also suspended visa exemptions for Hong Kong, Macau and South Korea.
Cathay, one of the most high-profile corporate casualties of protests in its home base of Hong Kong, is scheduled to report its 2019 full-year earnings on Wednesday.
