Nothing very original in this interview, but a confirmation that airport labor shortages are a significant factor:

While CX has resumed a significant number of flights to UK, it is still far behind pre-covid to Europe and NA.
An example of demand//supply imbalances.
CX was moving to 2 daily from CDG. AF had 1.5 daily. It is now 1 daily for CX and 3 weekly for AF.
Fares on AF/CX have rocketed, but also on competitors like QR (50 to 100% increase).
Of course, airlines might no be so unhappy of their profit margins on those flights with higher loads and higher fares.
