I would say demand is down somewhat relative to the old days which used to see high utilisation of 777s and 744s on the route. No doubt this reflects various factors including CX having trimmed the Middle East network since pre-Covid. CX currently offers 5-6 flights daily of which two are currently A321 and the rest a combination of 777, 350 and 330. The 777-300s have only recently made a return to the route after a long absence. Based upon what I see as a regular, cabins aren’t as consistently full as they used to be however there still seems to be strong enough demand to support 5-6 daily flights (I don’t recall there ever being more than 6 in the past).
