Tend to agree with the above. "Talks" about these routes have gone on for years. The return of Cathay has been imminent for the last 6 months.
So in effect there is nothing new here.
Maybe they could explain their plans for handling the traffic / pax they already have?
Like the appalling serviceability of walkways, escalators & lifts.
The blocked terminals caused by poor check in queue management. (T2 especially inc the new ground floor check-in)
The dreadfully poor & often outdated / incorrect signage around the airport.
The car park buses that dump departing passengers in arrivals.
The lack of taxiways and stands.
The queues for security (T1)
The queues trying to exit customs (T1)
Most of the above could have been resolved over the winter.
There just doesn't seem to be a consistant plan to sort these things out.
Things seemed so much better in Sir Gills day -when the airport had a good track record of keeping ahead of the game.
These days short term profits ( linked to fat bonuses for some) seem to have priority.
Rant over
