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.
FedEx Pilots Confined in Hong Kong
Key Takeaways:
- FedEx pilots traveling through Hong Kong are facing strict COVID-19 protocols, including mandatory hospitalization for asymptomatic positive cases and forced quarantine in challenging government facilities for close contacts.
- The Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) is advocating against these conditions, citing unacceptable risks to pilots' safety, wellbeing, and increased stress on flight operations.
- In response to these mandates and broader new security laws, FedEx is reportedly considering relocating its major Hong Kong hub operations to another city like Manila.
