We welcome Management´s decision to discontinue CGO layovers with immediate effect!
After having commenced these layovers in early November, it became apparent that Chinese authorities demanded additional requirements and did not follow the initially agreed procedures with the Company.
In this context, we would like to thank those crewmembers for their effort in writing safety reports and to provide us with detailed and valuable information about the deficiencies in the immigration procedure and hotel standard. In addition, there were many unanswered questions about the lack of emergency plans in the event a crewmember would become sick or show Covid symptoms during a layover in CGO.
All this useful information from the involved crewmembers formed the basis of a letter that was sent to management on Monday, 8 November 2021. Please click here to read this letter.
We consider the decision to discontinue the layovers in CGO as a strong signal by Management that safety and health of the pilots have top priority.
