Last week TT stated that frequency
may be cut to ULH destinations where the fuel surcharge is low or lagging the market, with aircraft redeployed on Short Haul where fuel is less of a factor. Having read a few missives from "The Management", I read this as an unveiled threat to the HK govt along the lines of.. "sort out the Fuel Surcharge or else".
Like others, I don't understand why they just can't put the airfares up. Whenever I go online the airfares seem to change by the hour as the booking change up/down.
CNBC was reporting today that weekend direct flights from TPE to the Mainland will start as early as next month and in response China Airlines will trim it's TPE -HKG schedule by up to 20%. I understand that CX has seen this coming, but nonetheless, it cannot be good news.
Seems that in a few months overtime will be but a dream
