There will be immediate major cuts to its flight schedule, including the cancellation of passenger and cargo services to and from Hong Kong.

The airline said it would operate a skeleton schedule in January, but did not give any details on how many flights would be grounded.

Hong Kong tightened Covid-19 rules for air cargo crew earlier this week.

The Omicron Covid variant is a threat.

The restrictions have affected the mental health of the pilots.

In the first three months of the new year, some passenger flights in and out of the Asian financial hub will be canceled, according to a statement from Cathay Pacific late on Thursday.

It said that passenger flights from Europe, Riyadh and Dubai would be suspended until January.

Last week, Cathay Pacific said it would be canceling some flights in January.

The decision is likely to put more strain on the supply chain.

The global aviation industry has been hit hard by the Pandemic. In the first half of the year, it lost over a billion dollars.

Thousands of flights have been canceled in the Christmas period due to the coronaviruses.

In line with mainland China, Hong Kong has a zero- Covid policy.

The city has some of the strictest quasar rules in the world, which may be left behind as other major financial centers open up and adopt approaches that see them live with the coronaviruses rather than being closed off to keep case numbers low.

Hong Kong has some of the strictest coronaviruses regulations in the world, but is also one of the biggest aviation hubs. Two pilots with Cathay Pacific have told the BBC that the rules have had a negative effect on their mental health.

One pilot who has spent almost 150 days in isolation this year said that he was in a state of "pervasive state of quark".

In line with mainland China's zero Covid policy, the city of Hong Kong has imposed an extensive testing andQuarantine regime.
