Cathay Pacific staff leaving in new round of employee exits at airline hit by Hong Kong protests

At least 3 senior employees are to leave Cathay Pacific amid a fresh round of staff departures at the struggling airline. Two general managers and the head of a business support unit were understood to have resigned, as industry analysts warned job cuts were inevitable at the carrier, which has been hit hard by the protests in Hong Kong. But insiders Tuesday sought to play down the suggestion the exits were the start of a wider reshuffle of the carrier’s 27,000-strong workforce. The airline’s GM of digital transformation Leslie Lu is leaving to pursue interests outside the company. Other changes include the departure of corporate affairs GM Patrick Yu, as well as the head of one of its customer service teams, according to multiple sources. <br/>
