CX will fight to death to not allow QF setup Death:-: HK
Maybe CX could buy into QF and take out the MU holding of JM. Then CX would be able to make use of the Australian side of the AU-HK bilateral using QF aircraft - thereby effectively increasing CX flights to/from Australia, and allow Jetstar Hong Kong to start flying.
Heck, have CX buy 49% of QF, then have Swire set up an Australian based holding company to take the other 51%.

But still, it would be the world's longest passenger flight! Longer distance than the failed LAX-SIN. It will not be easy, but there is definitely a market for Cathay in Miami, maybe it is best via Toronto.
I was just thinking that.
They would need to stop somewhere, but best not to have MIA as a tag flight from another US destination due to cabotage, so HKG-YYZ-MIA would work better much like HKG-YVR-JFK. Does CX have any 5th freedom rights from Canada besides YVR-JFK?
