HONG KONG -- Hong Kong business groups and the city's flagship airline, Cathay Pacific, on Thursday welcomed the authorities' move to ditch a temporary ban on flights if they were found to be carrying virus-infected passengers.
The policy, which led to more than 100 bans on routes so far this year, sparked chaos as residents were stranded overseas and put a damper on business travel, which was aggravated by mandatory hotel quarantines in Hong Kong.
