The captain accidentally left a box of condoms in the cockpit of the plane.

The airline said on Saturday it had issued a reprimand and a letter of recommendation to the crew member involved. It also released photos showing the condom box left on the pilot’s seat in the plane and said it was found during a routine inspection.

In addition, according to Hong Kong media publications, the male captain returned from a training session with a female officer on the night of July 20. However, the technician who discovered the incident was asked to keep quiet after reporting it to his supervisor.

West Wu Wai-hung, controller of the Flying Service Squadron, told Hong Kong newspaper South China Morning Post that he had received no complaints about the incident, but stressed the organisation expected its staff to behave to "very high standards".

He said he immediately met with those involved to better understand the situation. "There is no evidence to prove that there was any illegal or unregulated behavior that affected aviation safety. The incident occurred due to the captain's serious carelessness in handling his personal belongings," Wu said.

The controller said the Service Flight Team handled the situation according to procedure because the incident could have caused misunderstandings and affected the team's professional reputation.

The crew members involved received a letter of recommendation and reprimand, warning them not to engage in conduct that would damage the reputation of the flight crew.
