Capacity from CX and North America-HKG market as a whole is still down. CX only has 18 weekly LAX-HKG (compared to 21 weekly pre-COVID), YVR and YYZ are still not up to 14 weekly each, and a slew of US destinations still not restarted. AA has not resumed DFW-HKG, AC is unable to resume YYZ-HKG.

Though not clear how much feed LAX gets and of course, if they're relying on O&D traffic then probably not going to win against CX in the long run.
