Did you book that flight directly with the airline or through a travel website? and have you contacted them to see if they can rebook you to another flight? I'm in a similar boat with a flight from vancouver to bangkok Dec 22 - Jan 7. All my flights have been cancelled. I booked with flighthub and they have contacted hong kong airlines to try and rebook me onto a partner flight but so far I haven't heard anything back. I'm not very optimistic anyone will get rebooked, but if you do please update us here!

Even if HX gets HNA money to pay staff and suppliers, its future is in great doubt.
Many people are unaware of HX troubles. But anyone aware would be foolish to purchase a new ticket for future travel. HX will quickly run out of cash with dwindling new ticket sales. The only hope is to find an acquirer, but that is near impossible given the current situation in Hong Kong. HX (which I like a lot) only attraction is its airport slots

All I can hope for is that they stay in business thru February. I have two flights booked via UR points and these flights are the only flights arriving at a time that I need. Otherwise Im going to lose a night of hotel expense plus have to pay for another night somewhere else and then have to reroute at about 5x the cost of the ticket I bought with HK Air. aghhhhhhhhhhhhh

If HX survives it'll be most likely reduced to regional airline https://www.hk01.com/社會新聞/406252/香港航...20844;司

Also: "It also announced that it would stop providing in-flight entertainment system services in December."
I guess that's another bill they didn't pay.

Or is this for foreign airlines only?

Yep, they've waived the requirement through March 2020 for the winter season as a temporary measure. But it's hard to see the HX's slots being valuable if capacity is being cut by other carriers. If China's economic situation drastically improves, then perhaps the slots could be coveted but the capacity constraints should be lifted after the completion of the third runway in 2022. Hard to see CX making a bid for HX assets at this point.

In a sign that the struggle has been ongoing, the "New Releases" on my most recent HX flight last week were anything but new.
