HONG KONG, June 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The daily flight volume of Hong Kong Airlines
has returned to the pre-pandemic level in the first half of the year. As it continues
to expand its fleet and launch new routes, Hong Kong Airlines anticipates to recruit
over 10% more pilots and 40% more cabin crew within the year. To meet these development
needs, the Company has launched a series of recruitment events in various cities
across Hong Kong, Mainland China and other regions, hiring for multiple positions
including frontline staff and flight attendants.

At its latest flight attendant recruitment event hosted in Bangkok on 15 June, the
Company successfully attracted thousands of job seekers eager to embark on a career
in the aviation sector. After a thorough screening process, qualified candidates
were invited for on-site interviews.

The recruitment event was honoured by the presence of special guest Mr Chaturont
CHAIYAKAM, the Consul-General of the Royal Thai Consulate-General in Hong Kong. 
Mr Chaturont CHAIYAKAM shared insights on the development opportunities in the aviation
sector between Hong Kong and Thailand, encouraged the younger generation of Thailand
to actively pursue careers in aviation, and expressed his support for Hong Kong 
Airlines’ stepping up its recruitment efforts in Thailand, considering it a great
opportunity to strengthen the talent exchange between the two regions.

**Ms Sally Lo, General Manager of Onboard Experience at Hong Kong Airlines**, stated,“
Thai employees are known for their strong ability to adapt to different cultures
and work environments. Their proficiency in both Thai and English, coupled with 
their diligence, discipline, enthusiasm for work, and commitment to providing excellent
service, gives them an edge in the international business environment. The over 
twenty Thai flight attendants we recruited earlier this year are now in the final
stage of their training and are performing well. They are expected to graduate by
the end of the month and start providing service on all our flights.”

With more talents from diverse cultural backgrounds joining the company, Hong Kong
Airlines provides them with comprehensive cultural guidance and language course 
support. The Company has also established an employee assistance programme to help
new joiners cope with personal or work-related challenges that they may face during
the relocation period. This includes offering counselling services, stress management
resources, and guidance to alleviate homesickness, all aimed at helping employees
adapt to life in Hong Kong and company culture, ensure sustainable talent retention.

**Ms Viola Wong, Director of Human Resources of Hong Kong Airlines**, shared insights
on the company’s corporate culture at the event. She stated, “The employee turnover
rate is currently relatively stable. To further retain and motivate our employees,
we launched various incentive schemes, communication channels and staff caring activities.
We anticipate a net increase of 500 employees this year and will continue to allocate
resources in various aspects of talent training and employee activities to retain
our valuable employees “
