Cannot imagine that there is much in the way of passengers given no foreigners allowed until September 18th. Must basically be for the cargo. I don't believe there is any serious demand when CX is only operating LHR HKG 5x/week.........
I wonder if anyone has seen this flight load and if there are more than about 25 people on it.......
FD.
Hong Kong has a lot of expats and foreign permanent residents. Lots of British for obvious historical reasons, but also French, Italians, ...
They have EU passports so not affected by travel restrictions except possibly quarantine. Lots of family or spouse and kids flying back to Europe and will return to HK by summer end or earlier.
I flew from HK on BA32 a week ago. 7 F pax. I did not venture into the rest of the plane, but few business pax. However the Y checking line at airport was quite long. And there were transit pax. I would guess at least half full in Y.
