Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. and its Cathay Dragon unit carried 13,729 passengers in April, an average of just 458 a day, as the coronavirus continued to wreak havoc on the global aviation industry.
The figure is a 99.6% drop from the same month last year, Cathay said in a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange on Friday. For the first four months of the year, the two airlines made an unaudited net loss of HK$4.5 billion ($580 million) as they operated a so-called bare skeleton passenger flight schedule to just 14 destinations.
