Hong Kong Airlines has continued its ongoing tumultuous wave of resignations, ranging from the CFO and 6 directors who have left the airline since July. In response to the recent incidents, the airline reiterated that “Hong Kong Airlines is operated by an independent Hong Kong based management. The recent change to Hong Kong Airlines board of directors does not impact our business and operations. We have recruited leaders to join our management team.” Hong Kong’s Air Transport Licensing Authority said it has been following up on the financial situation of Hong Kong Airlines and its request to explain the situation. Under govt regulations, Hong Kong Airlines is required to submit annual audited financial statement for review by ATLA. <br/>

IndiGo is likely to induct its first long range jet A321neo in its fleet Saturday, after a delay of almost 1 month, which will pave the way for the airline to launch its much-awaited medium-haul international operations, a source said Tuesday. The carrier currently has shorter-range A320neos in its fleet of 200-odd planes, which also has A320s and ATR jets. The delivery of the new jet will help IndiGo introduce flights on the medium-haul routes. The airline has already announced its plans to launch services to Istanbul and has also signed a code-share pact with Turkish Airlines for seamless connectivity to 20 global destinations for its passengers from Istanbul and onwards. In turn, passengers of the Turkish carrier will have access to all destinations operated by IndiGo within India. <br/>
