Your ALPL Board is relieved to see that all four colleagues, who have been quarantined in Hong Kong since 25 September 2020 have safely been repatriated back to Luxembourg.
We would like to take this opportunity and thank all parties involved. This includes the Cargolux Human Factors manager and OH&S in Luxembourg, our colleagues from Hong Kong ALPA and the Cargolux CEO. A special thanks goes to our colleagues at Cargolux Operations in HKG, who played an important role liaising with the local authorities and last but not least Luxembourg’s ministry of Foreign Affairs for their support.
It remains our position, that layovers in Hong Kong shall remain suspended until it can be guaranteed by Cargolux management in writing, that no pilot would face a similar situation in the future. The Delegation and the LCGB communicated this expectation of our members to the Cargolux Senior Management.
