It does not make sense to commit to Aria on such a long timeframe. I like flying on CX and don’t want them to fall into a sunk cost trap.
this is a silly excuse.
no point having Swire as your main shareholder if they can't pull strings for CX at HAECO.
unlike most airlines on earth CX is heavily vertically integrsted with Swire and its own subsidiaries and should be using that to its advantage.
in fact this is probably the only reason CX can compete against the state owned airlines.
