British Airways is to temporarily suspend passenger flights to and from Hong Kong, the Post has learned, after more of its aircrew were sent to a government quarantine camp.
Two separate sources on Saturday evening said the British flag carrier had taken the decision after at least one of its aircrew members tested positive for Covid-19 on arrival at Hong Kong International Airport on Saturday, leading to most of the BA staff on the flight being taken to Penny’s Bay quarantine centre on Lantau Island.
Health officials also refused to allow the crew to return to Britain on an empty flight instead.
