Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. said it fired two crew members at a unit as part of an investigation into why depleted emergency oxygen bottles are turning up on its flights.
Cathay Dragon detected an emergency oxygen bottle in a “low-pressure state” on a Sept. 21 flight to Hong Kong from Kuala Lumpur, it said in a statement Tuesday. All cabin crew have been suspended to facilitate the probe, according to the statement.
