Carrier’s first batch of 30 mainland cadets has started flying after completing training
Hong Kong flag carrier Cathay Pacific Airways will recruit more pilots from mainland China to diversify its workforce after the first batch of 30 cadets from across the border finished training and started flying.
Chris Kempis, the airline’s director of flight operations, said on Monday that 60 mainland cadets from a pool of more than 750 applicants had entered its pilot programme since its expansion in 2023.
Among the first group of mainland recruits, 30 have already qualified as second officers after completing training in Australia. Other cadets are currently undergoing training in the United States.
