港媒报道称，国泰航空有员工早前因为参与“反修例”示威，被控暴动罪但却未被停职。国泰表示，一名被控暴动罪的机师自上月30日起已没有被安排飞行任务，自上月15日起亦未执行任何飞行任务。此外，国泰证实两名机场员工因行为不当已被解雇。

China's aviation authority issued a major air safety warning to Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific Airlines on Friday, after the airline was criticized for its tacit support of anti-government riots that may expose passengers to safety threats. 
"In recent days, the Cathay Pacific has exposed high safety risks and threats as a pilot who was arrested for participating in riots was still allowed to fly and a staff member had leaked the passengers' flight information," the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said in the letter.

民航局昨傍晚发出新闻稿，称国泰先后发生飞行人员参与暴力冲击、被控暴动罪却未被停止飞行活动，以及恶意泄露航班旅客资讯等事件，存在严重威胁航空安全的隐患，造成恶劣社会影响，增加了香港输入内地的航空安全风险。

The CAAC requested airline to immediately suspend employees who have supported and participated in illegal protests and violence from working in flights to the Chinese mainland or related to mainland air transportation starting Saturday. 

民航局向国泰提出3点要求，由今日零时起，立即停止对所有参与和支持非法游行示威、暴力冲击活动，以及曾有过激行为的人员，在飞往内地航班或执行与内地航空运输活动相关的一切职务活动。

It also ordered the airline to submit the information of crew members who fly to the Chinese mainland or pass through the Chinese mainland to relevant authorities in the Chinese mainland starting Sunday. And if the information is not approved, airports in the Chinese mainland won't receive the flights.

据港媒报道，此前网上传出国泰发出内部文件，要求员工包括机组人员更改护照名称，由“香港特别行政区护照”改为“中国特别行政区护照”。国泰向员工发通知，表明由于中国内地是国泰的关键业务，不少航线，包括飞往欧洲及美国的航班均需经过内地空域，故法律上国泰有必要跟随民航局的规定，向民航局提交所有飞往内地和飞越内地领空的机组人员资料。
