UAL, AA Suspend Hong Kong Flts over testing

American, United call off Hong Kong flights after crew testing rules.
If flight crew test positive they're confined to a hospital in Hong Kong.

Who is actually even trying to get to HK as a pax these days? Over on Pprune an Aussie pilot and HK resident (assuming he's a CX guy) described the arrival, er, formalities. Took him 9 hours from block in to accessing his quarantine hotel room at the Regal (the HK airport hotel which I quite like, normally). He tested negative but was not released until approximately 16 hours after block-in.. Plus, I don't think HK is allowing non-residents to enter (I could be wrong). Aside from repatriation flights -- who is even on any US-HKG flights these days?

You are correct about non-residents, not allowed to enter. Aircrew is exempt and allowed full access to the city.
