On January 8 and 9, CATHAY PAC AIR flight CX640 from Kathmandu, Nepal, had passengers reporting discomfort, suspected food poisoning. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government's Department of Health's Centre for Health Protection stated that the two cases involved a total of 36 people, and they are following up to investigate any epidemiological links. They urged passengers on these two flights to call the centre hotline for appropriate assessment, and if symptoms of infection occur, such as fever or discomfort, they should seek medical attention immediately. CATHAY PAC AIR apologized to the affected customers and emphasized that it takes food safety and hygiene matters very seriously. According to the current investigation, it is believed that the contaminated food did not come from CATHAY PAC AIR, but if the final investigation results indicate that there are issues with CATHAY's food handling procedures, the company will publicly address this and take corrective measures.
