HKA do not currently operate any aircraft that CX would want
A330s for CX or KA???? (yes, I know they are -200s, and some freighters)
A320s for KA????

Unfortunately much of what HKA has on order is not really what CX would want apart from A350s
Do HKA have any more A320s or A330s on order?

Exactly, they are 332s and I can't see CX taking on a different type.
HKA's A320s have the wrong engine types and again, with plenty of A320s around the world with the correct engine types available, I can't imagine why KA would take on the ex HKA ones. Its not like KA couldn't get IAE powered A320s at short notice if they wanted anyway...and besides, HKA only have two A320s....hardly a windfall!

I do believe there are more A330s coming for HKA and maybe some -300s as well but again, CX can fairly easily obtain more if they just paid Airbus...those slots HKA hold aren't particularly valuable.
