Cathay Pacific Airways has warned its pilots against taxiing at “considerably slower speeds” after some were accused of contributing to congestion at Hong Kong’s airport, the Post has learned.

In an internal memo sent on April 21 and seen by the Post on Sunday, the city’s flagship airline said it would look into any future cases flagged by the Airport Authority and its own internal team, but would refrain from reviewing past data.

“The Airport Authority advised us that their data indicated that some Cathay Pacific aircraft were taxiing at a considerably slower speed than other operators for both arrivals and departures,” said Tim Burns, the airline’s general manager. “Our own Hong Kong airport team has confirmed that they have tracked similar instances in their own systems.”
