What do critics here suggest is a better solution.
ok other airlines are getting widebodies.
CX is rhe only one who has not a single widebody delivery 2024 to 2027....
for an almost 90% widebody airline....
CX 2013 order got delayed by CX as well.
So even in 2027 CX is looking at maybe 2 new widebodies because CX management chose to delay.
CX could have ordered more a350s etc but chose not to and still are sleeping as 2030 to 2033 slots fill up....
