BKI was announced long before. It is a UO route.

i think given CX's planes are used up, new routes or more frequencies, at least until 2028 when A330neos arrive, would be little to none for CX. most would come from UO instead.

lol
When you say it it's fine.
But when i say the same thing I am an anti Cathay troll....

this is just a neutral observation. im not a CX glazer that only says positive things about CX. for example its regional J is pretty bad.

pretty much all airlines in the world have fleet shortage, this isnt only in CX. airlines do anything to get planes these days- QR with its LCC A21N is one example. and maybe, i could be wrong and CX would add even more flights next year.

but you usually put false comments that people often call out, combined with ragebait like "CX cant compete against SQ" , which brings arguments

why not resuming below routes ?
1. JED (Jeddah)
2. AUH (Abu Dhabi)
3. DUB (Dublin)
4. CPT (Cape Town)
5. IAD (Washington)

Thanks - didn't know that

Ugh that's unappealing

DUB was great for me and the whole reason I chose CX for FF. The democracy protests were given as a factor but I think the load factors were already seen as disappointing. It was great - of my four flights, I had three economy seats to myself for at least one of them. I'd love it back, it's hard enough to use the CX points without getting hit with high fees and I'd be content with upgrading with points.

Cathay Pacific To Reconnect Hong Kong And Dublin

simply because of horrible load factors

btw the original HKG-DUB flight number, CX301, has been reused for HKG-MUC. Chances of resuming is very very low

DUB was CX306 and CX307. But yeah, I'm not expecting anything.

dont understand why all your posts are this exact same style, asking to resume unrealistic routes for a year now

I thought CX was only short on long haul frames, but seems like they're short on regional frames too now. If you look at the regional schedule for NW25, you can see CX sending A321neos to NGO and KIX, as well as swapping 333s off HAN, MNL and BKK with 773s and 359s as irregular swaps... I have no idea how they're planning to expand at this rate. A few 35K flights have been massively delayed this week due to airframe shortages too.

It’s like CX was at sleep in the last 5 years or so, making delayed decisions on future fleet planning (certainly COVID was one of the causes though). Counterparts in the region have been getting new planes delivered.

With more 321neos to come, I guess we’ll only see more routes resuming / starting with narrow bodies.

100% agreed.
CX retired too many planes /went to sleep.
Yes other airlines are short planes but they are still getting deliveries.
CX has no wide body deliveries till 2028 , maybe 2 in 2027.

yeah thats a fair statement. tho in covid many airlines retired a lot of planes, not just CX

no airline ever expected demand to come back so quick, travel demand seems to be endless today around the world. at this point i think CX is trying to squeeze as much capacity as possible, but the limit is gonna be reached soon, at least until 2027-2028

and supply chain issues, infinite queues for new planes are not gonna help either, airlines around the world are starving for any plane at this point, a example is QR with their LCC A21N

also i dont know why CX didnt snatch sichuans airlines 5 A350s its retiring, i think CI already took it...

Or the JL 77W. Those might still be up for grabs and probably pretty well maintained?
