Cathay Pacific flight from Beijing faces signal issue after landing in HK

A Cathay Pacific flight arriving from Beijing encountered a suspected signal abnormality after landing at Hong Kong International Airport in Chek Lap Kok on Friday evening.

The incident yesterday (Sep 26) triggered a precautionary response from firefighters, who were dispatched to the scene, but no injuries were reported. 

The aircraft, an Airbus A330 operating as flight CX331, touched down around 8pm and proceeded to taxi to the gate as normal after the issue was detected. 

Passengers remained on board for approximately 45 minutes before being allowed to disembark. 

The aircraft underwent standard inspections and necessary maintenance, which have since been completed, allowing it to return to service.
