They are not only getting trashed by COVID but by the crackdown on civil liberties in HK and protest disruptions. It makes Hong Kong less appealing for business if it’s one country,
one system. I don’t expect “normal” for CX’s route network in 2021.

I would argue if they trim routes the ones most likely to go are ones like JNB that are such the extreme value add for AS miles. I would also expect more A350s and less four cabin 777Ws.
