People from China rushing through Hong Kong borders by flights during “window period”, suspected to avoid mandatory quarantine
The HKSAR government announced on February 5 that starting from Saturday, February 8 all visitors from China must undergo a mandatory quarantine for 14 days in Hong Kong.
February 6 and 7 hence becomes a “window period" for people to leave China while avoiding mandatory quarantine in Hong Kong.
A source from Hong Kong Airlines revealed that the reservation of flights from China to Hong Kong has risen remarkably to 76-85% on February 6 and was overbooked to 102-105% on February 7.
Comparing HX337 and HX313 both operated by Hong Kong Airlines on February 7, the booking rates of the two flights have a drastic difference between 91% (including business class) and 23% as to their respective arrival time at Hong Kong at 15:55 and 23:35.
The 63 passengers on HX313 would only be able to avoid the mandatory quarantine in Hong Kong, if their plane could arrive on time and they must also complete the immigration process within 25 minutes before the new restriction kicks in at midnight.
