Revenue was down before the woo flu hit CX. The small matter of protests hardly made HK the dream spot for a long weekend. Or any other stay for that matter. Combine that with a draconian security law, punitive and nonsensical quarantine requirements ( which will take an age to unwind now that the infrastructure is in place and the bureaucrats have got a taste for it) and a brain and talent brain and the place is well and truly f@@ked. Talk about killing the goose that laid the golden egg.
The 3rd runway will just become another vanity project, ( they’re scattered all over the planet from Zaragoza, Bangkok to Beijing ) Shenzhen will subsume HKG anyway, and quite frankly who needs 4 airports in the Pearl River Estuary when one would suffice.
Oh for the days when the only worry we had post flight was not cocking up the e tech log, which gate we were on, and which bus we were going to catch. !
