I doubt if HKG can support such demand without a hub or connecting flts. Maybe they will connect from HKG. It will be interesting to wait and watch.
HKG as a destination itself can sustain itself on O&D traffic. Also with all the new aircraft coming in 9W is bound to expand eastward. Who knows what 9W has in the works in terms of using HKG as a hub towards the east. Oz?
