More like CX is short on planes and some routes had to go. Also it is likely to be temporary. YYZ lost F years ago, and CX appears to be bringing it back this year, and that is a lower yield route than SYD. For a long time SYD had about 80% of the CX F service to Australia, when QF gave up that market. Now QF is much more interested (owing to its HKG-LHR service). For a long time CX and QF acted like adversaries rather than allies, maybe they have reached an accomodation and QF has won the F market.
