A third pilot left Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. amid Hong Kong’s anti-Beijing protests, with the departure related to comments he made about a rally at the city’s airport last month.
The pilot is no longer with Cathay, a spokeswoman for the Hong Kong-based airline said Wednesday, without elaborating or disclosing whether he resigned or was fired. The pilot made comments about the protest to passengers on a flight to the city from Tokyo, Hong Kong Economic Journal said, without saying where it got the information.
