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?
Yeah I understand CAAC is not directly involved but they do have a say if they don't want to let CX fly.
With the status quo I think CX took the right step in terms of gambling cause HX's financial situation must be dire. I mean even if HX secure the rights it's unlikely any airline will be running any flights in the coming months (if not years).
