Re: Singapore Airlines launch London Gatwick

As a HKer this hits me deep.... feels like a total swap of CX for SQ much like a lot of things recently from HK to SIN. I am very pleased for both LGW and SQ.

Re: Cathay Pacific News and Discussion - 2023

This was likely just a placeholder schedule using pre-pandemic schedule. It's probably now been updated to the 'real' flying programme. I think with crew shortage, CX would not be able to suddenly increase to that extent

Re: Rumor: American Airlines considering flying to SIN

To be honest, I would think AA would be better off restarting HKG before SIN.

Whilst I can't see both...
