Hong Kong Airlines hit with second lawsuit in a week
Struggling carrier Hong Kong Airlines is being sued over non-payment of fees totalling HK$300 million (US$39 million).
It is thought it relates to the construction of the Hong Kong Airlines Aviation Training Centre by Hip Hing Construction Company.
The firm filed a lawsuit in the High Court alleging it is owed HK$216 million plus interest of HK$80.4 million for late payment up to the end of April.
HK Airlines says it is ‘communicating with the concerned company on the issue.’
It is the second lawsuit filed against the airline in just a few days.
The China based Industrial Bank is claiming unpaid fees from the airline for financing of the Aviation Training Centre.
Hong Kong Airlines, which is backed by debt-ridden conglomerate HNA Group, had been in financial difficulties a long time before the pandemic decimated the air travel market.
