Air Mail from HKG
I wonder if anyone in the airline world of Hong Kong knows or can work out what is going on with the airmail from Hong Kong?
In the past month I have been told by the Hong Kong Post Office that there is no air mail service between HKG and several European countries. It is obvious that there are aircraft flying daily between Hong Kong and these countries so why do they not carry mail?
Is it that CX had the mail contract and tells the PO that "Due Covid we cannot handle mail" and then waits while the companies of Hong Kong send it via DHL, at anything from 5 to 10 times the price. Mysteriously I have heard it said that CX and associate companies are not a million miles from the revenue stream of DHL.
