HONG KONG — A sex scandal has forced Cathay Pacific to review a marketing campaign that bills the airline as “the team who go the extra mile to make you feel special,” a company spokeswoman said on Sunday.
The Hong Kong carrier launched an investigation last week after photos were published on the Internet of a woman in a red outfit resembling its cabin crew uniform performing oral sex on a man, reportedly her boyfriend, on board.
Two Cathay employees subsequently left the company, but the embarrassing episode — which reportedly took place in the cockpit — has caused the airline to consider postponing its “People and Service” campaign.
