Hong Kong airlines Cathay Pacific and Dragonair impose total ban on carriage of shark fin
Hong Kong Airlines | June 23, 2016
Hong Kong’s flagship airline has finally bowed to public pressure by slapping a blanket ban on shark fin being carried on any of its planes. But Cathay Pacific, the city’s biggest carrier, and its sister airline Dragonair have left the door open to a possible U-turn by saying the new policy will be subject to review. The move – which will take effect immediately – comes after budget airline HK Express became the first local carrier to axe shark fin shipments last month.
