Plus I am unsure if HX is even healthy enough to fly consider CX is already doing so bad in HKG.
CAAC is not directly involved here.
Route authority and traffic rights are returned to CAD, which will then decide how to reallocate them based upon applications received.
For Cathay, it’s a gamble here whether they will get all they ask for. Given HX’s strained financial situation and reduced fleet prior to COVID-19, is it in any shape to expand?
