I don't think anyone would argue they are worthless, but their value is in their slots not their leased (mismatched interior and engine) aircraft or patchy network.
UO was not profitable. CX stated UO
lost $18M in 2018 even with low fuel prices.
HX cut their entire Australian network, all of their NZ flights, and are
cutting all of their remaining longhaul frequencies nearly in half. They are bleeding, and
badly. But looking at the route in isolation, HKG-DPS is great with their fire-sale pricing as long as you're comfortable flying knowing they may shutter or reduce operations before the actual date of flying. In the very near term, I wouldn't be concerned about booking HX 1-2 months forward.
Im pretty sure UO is operationally profitting
their losses are from the debt from political loans from HNA that got effectively written off from the sales of the airline
if its not a political trade, i dont know how do you get deals like this.
