The Demise of Hong Kong Airlines

[intelligentpilot]

I thought it was only the Singaporeans that lied through their a$$es

Hong Kong Airlines, a subsidiary of HNA Group, planned to develop long-haul routes to European destinations in the next six months despite the current downturn in air traffic, its president said yesterday.

Oh really. I thought the CAD needed to approve that. Not a chance in hell with your past record of rostering, pilot management, training and incidents. In the next 6 months…DREAMING BOYS!. Where did you guys get your management experience? A corn flakes packet?

The airline plans to take delivery of five aircraft in the next year - three Airbus 330s and two A320s.

I will believe it when I see it.

Losses at Hong Kong Airlines and sister company Hong Kong Express Airways had been sharply reduced, falling 75 per cent in the first four months from the same period last year, Mr Yang said.

That’s strange, the story we were fed was profits were down since this time last year hence the forced pay cut.

This had been achieved through laying off pilots and cabin crew and reducing capacity by 30 to 40 per cent this year. However, Mr Yang did not provide any financial figures.

Losing 6 aircraft to Hainan because you can not secure and sustain routes. This is called reducing capacity? Did not provide financial figures… what a surprise. Nothing this company does is above board.

Mr Yang confirmed reports that Hong Kong Airlines and Hong Kong Express, both partially owned by HNA, were considering a merger.

Really? is that why the CAD told the Singaporeans to keep their dirty hands off HKE, and HKE is moving OUT of the HKA/HKE airport briefing office and moving back to citygate (without HKA)

Hong Kong Airlines, which operates eight Boeing 737-800 aircraft, and Hong Kong Express, which has six B737-800s, fly to about 20 destinations through code-sharing programmes.

LIES LIES LIES. Blatent lies. HKA has 2 aircraft. HKE has 5 or 4 at the end of this month.

Mr Yang denied reports that casino mogul Stanley Ho Hung-sun planned to offload his 25 per cent stake in Hong Kong Express.

Is that why the EX DFO lying Singaporean puppet Lui told us all to our face that Stanley has indirectly sold his 25% stake. (perhaps one of those typical Asian deals.. some dodgy shelf company owned by Hainan with Stanley’s name on it owns this 25% stake) But then again Lui and the Singaporeans have in the past had absolutely no problem lying to your face with a smile, even when they know; you know; what they say is bull$hit.

That article has more lies, bull$hit and propaganda than anything I have read this week.
