Highlights:
- YVR-JFK flights ending next April
- HKG-YVR going down from 17x to 14x weekly
- HKG-JFK going up from 21x to 25x weekly
The article also suggests that YVR might lose F service altogether but seems to bungle the exact fleet types. I could see all YVR flights going to 77G/77K, certainly not the regional "high-density" 773s that the article states.
The article never mentioned a regional seating, just the 340 777 which is 77G in CX parlance. 773 is a generic code for all 777-300.
That decision makes sense to me. Since AC added a nonstop longhaul 789, competition was even harder on the money-losing YVR-NYC.. And adding nonstops to NYC is good news.
