The closest carrier to the affected region, Cathay Pacific is keeping its flights to mainland China but cutting capacity by half, a company press release said. Flights directly to Wuhan which are operated by sister airline Cathay Dragon, however, have been canceled.
Passengers can change or cancel flights to mainland China, which sits less than 10 miles from the airline's base at Hong Kong International Airport. As a Chinese airline, Cathay Pacific sometimes takes cues from the Chinese government, as seen during the recent protests that saw its CEO forced to resign.
The airline also stated in a separate press release it will be cutting amenities such as hot towels, pillows, blankets, and magazines.
