More than 190 passengers had flight to Japan disrupted, but no one was hurt in incident
More than 190 passengers on a Cathay Pacific Airways flight to Japan had to be evacuated shortly before takeoff at Hong Kong International Airport due to a fuel spillage on Monday. Hong Kong-Nagoya flight CX532, scheduled to depart at 4.15pm with 191 passengers, was on its way to a runway via a taxi way when the issue was discovered, according to the airline and the Airport Authority. The Airbus A330 was later towed to a parking bay, where the passengers were evacuated. The safety of their passengers and crew was the priority, an airline spokesman said.
