Two Hong Kong-bound Cathay Pacific flights were disrupted by technical issues on consecutive days. One returned to London Heathrow, while the other diverted to Osaka. Both aircraft landed safely, the airline told the South China Morning Post.
On Tuesday, 10 November, flight CX252 (Boeing 777-300ER reg. B-KPD, oneworld livery) made a precautionary return to London Heathrow after departing for Hong Kong. It landed at 14:23 local time, and passengers were rebooked on alternative flights.
On Wednesday, 11 November, flight CX521 from Tokyo Narita (Boeing 777-300 reg. B-HNE) diverted to Kansai International Airport in Osaka, where it landed at 19:00 local time. Passengers continued to Hong Kong on another Cathay Pacific aircraft (Airbus A330-300 reg. B-LAX). They arrived at destination with a delay of 5 hours and a quarter.
Cathay Pacific apologised to affected passengers. The airline did not specify the nature of either technical issue in the account reported by the South China Morning Post.
