		</div><p>Hong Kong’s Cathay Pacific Airlines is suspending cargo flights for a week due to stricter quarantine requirements for air crews, potentially adding to strain on global supply chains.</p>
<p>Long-haul flights to Europe, across the Pacific and to Riyadh and Dubai are suspended through to January 6, the airline said.</p>
<p>It promised to try to help customers “mitigate the disruption”.</p>
<p>The airline’s workforce is stretched thin after the quarantine for Cathay Pacific flight crews returning from abroad was extended to one week in a hotel room, from three days.</p>
<p>The South China Morning Post newspaper said the longer quarantine would leave Cathay without enough pilots for all its flights.</p>
<p>The airline earlier asked staff to volunteer for a “closed-loop system” under which they would work for three-week stints with brief stopovers in Hong Kong, but too few agreed, according to news reports.</p>
<p>Cathay said earlier it would reduce its schedule of passenger flights in the first three months of 2022 due to staff shortages.</p>
<p>On Friday, the airline said five air crew members tested positive for the coronavirus’s Omicron variant after returning from abroad.</p>
<p>It blamed “a serious breach of protocols” by those employees and said it would lead to unspecified discipline.</p>
