To be honest as a C class flyer I'm not that sad. I used to be a KA fan, but since CX take over it has slowly degraded and the year before COVID I would even consider it on part with Chinese airlines (which is not a good thing). Seriously, I have had better experiences in C class on China Eastern, Sichuan, or even Hong Kong Airlines than on KA. In my opinion it's good that KA gets axed now when most of the memories are its glory days. KA was destined to be a cheap-fare airline, and with HK Express there's really no need for them to exist.
