As infections from the COVID-19 virus continue to climb just about everywhere on Earth, the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) last week shared some more unexpected news that’s affecting some US pilots traveling abroad through Hong Kong, which FedEx uses as a major hub.

Key Takeaways:
- Hong Kong's strict COVID-19 protocols are subjecting asymptomatic FedEx pilots to mandatory hospitalization and close contacts to government quarantine facilities under difficult conditions.
- The Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) deems these conditions unacceptable, citing risks to pilot safety and operational stress, and is advocating with FedEx management.
- In response to these strict measures and new security laws, FedEx is reportedly considering relocating its major hub operations from Hong Kong to another location, possibly Manila.
