a few weeks ago, China decided to scrap its COVID-19 rules and to reopen the country without almost any notable restrictions after having had in place one of the most restrictive COVID-19 policies worldwide for more than two years.
Shortly thereafter, also Hong Kong lifted its restrictions and basically overnight significantly relaxed its entry requirements.
Whilst we all certainly welcome these changes as a step towards normality, especially in connection with China, the extreme turnaround already leads to a tremendous increase of infections in mainland China and to an overload of their health care system.
With this in mind, we decided to send a letter to the CEO and Flight Operation Management to underscore our position concerning a possible resumption of layovers in China, as well as to address the current layovers in HKG, where we ask to move back to the Shangri La latest after Chinese New Year.
