CX and KA have decided to cancel numerous flights in and out of China. Wow, I guess they are tired of handing out compensations and realized they actually lose money everytime they send out a flight. That's how bad it is...

I would say this is the tip of the iceberg. If the situation worsens CX/KA won't be the first airlines to do this. Even if they prioritize international flights, eventually the bottleneck will run out again and other foreign airlines follow suit.

Besides arrogance and sense of superiority, I really don't understand the PLA's decision to control 80% of airspace and not let it go.
