The main point is that the recovery is going well and calls of the demise of our loved employer had been slightly exaggerated. The usual suspects were wrong (again) and the wise and cool-headed among us foresaw that correctly a long time ago (you are welcome ;-).
On top of that, Chinese mainland airlines are not at pre-Covid levels either yet, and 3 out of the 4 big players operate at a loss. Also I would be highly sceptical about the profit potential of tourism pax to second and third tier mainland cities, this is no doubt a low yield and extremely price sensitive segment.
