Agreed.
But it is also dependent on the potential number of pax. CX/UO cannot only rely on transit pax, especially with their limited frequency. They need pax with HK for original/final destination. Despite the progressive relaxation in Q rules and the Golden week holiday, traffic from/to HK has not increased dramatically. Operating many more flights at a loss would bleed cash even more.
