Exclusive: Cathay Pacific's brand merger hits roadblock from China's aviation regulator - sources

SYDNEY - China’s aviation regulator may make it difficult for Hong Kong’s Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd to merge regional arm Cathay Dragon into its main brand because of infractions during last year’s pro-democracy protests, two sources said.

The Cathay Pacific brand flies only to Beijing and Shanghai, while Dragon destinations include smaller cities like Fuzhou and Nanjing. The six demerits received, according to two of the sources, mean it could take a year from the date of the most recent one, near the end of last year, to be allowed to expand, CAAC demerit rules posted online say.

A meeting has been tentatively set for June 10, one of the sources said. The union declined to comment.

Cathay is already a Chinese lapdog, they fired employees based on their social media supporting the protests last year

The communists would be quite fine if Cathay were to disappear. The ultimate goal is no more HK-based flagship carrier. It's too much of a 'vestige of empire'. Chicoms will wait patiently until it Swire says 'enough', or they'll just keep squeezing.
