Tang said the airline intended to hire 4,000 staff by the end of 2023: 700 pilots, 2,000 cabin crew and 1,300 airport and customer service staff. Across the group, 8,000 employees will be hired from now to the end of next year, including at the company’s catering unit, cargo terminal and airport handling subsidiary, Tang said.
Separately, start-up Greater Bay Airlines (GBA) will launch flights from its Hong Kong home base next month: two chartered services to Bangkok on July 9 and July 16 and its first commercial passenger route, also to the Thai capital, on July 23.
