Right now, CX983 is too late for an early morning bank departure for transit ex-HKG, and CX988 is too early for the late evening bank for intra-Asia transit to CAN. (Skypier to ZhongShan last departure 20:20)
I think if UO does fly to CAN it can serve well two types of passengers from CAN to transit in HKG- both budget conscious and more regional destinations (which would take UO, and UO has a lot of destinations CAN and nearby places doesn't, one of UO's main sources of passengers is mainland Chinese as well), and long haul, higher paying passengers (which would take CX). plus it gives more timings to choose from.
