Passenger numbers have dropped by 11.3% across the network since the HK protests kicked off. HK airport was shut on a few occasions by the protesters. I know a couple who flew DUB-HKG a couple of weeks ago who needed a police escorted bus to get out of the terminal, bus was attacked etc. I also know several people who decided not to book CX as they usually do for trips to Oz, NZ etc over the next few months.
Prior to the recent unrest they were always chirping about how well the route was performing and were hinting at a daily service. I wouldn’t be too worried long term.
