HONG KONG -- Half a year ago, Fion, a flight attendant with Cathay Pacific Airways, avoided wearing face masks for fear of being associated with the pro-democracy protests that were rocking the city. Now, she wears a mask on all flights to and from mainland China to guard against the coronavirus that has killed over 600 people since it broke out in Wuhan in December.
Fion's mask confusion reflects the twin challenges facing Hong Kong's biggest and oldest airline. But while the coronavirus is grabbing headlines, the greater test for the company may be how it navigates the delicate balance of "one country, two systems."
