Cathys flights into EGCC will struggle for the time being, freight agents are cancelling their Block Space Agreements where they would have normally signed a deal with CX for a guarenteed amount of space per month, my current company, my previous employer and one of the industry giants have all decided not to sign deals with CX this year due to pricing ( these are the ones i know of), CX is constantly 2-3 HKD per kilo above most other carriers, its only niche being that its direct into EGCC, but those options continue to dwindle from what was 13 per week to now 4 per week (if they operate at all).
Outbound the flights are always struggling for cargo, again £0.40 above the rest of the market per kilo forcing agents to look elsewhere.
Various meetings in Catahy City have all lead to me thinking one thing.....CX is closely monitoring Manchester.
