Just looking at the schedules for September 2007, the month Air China started.
It makes disturbing reading compared to 2013;

AIR CHINA 3 x weekly
CHINA AIRLINES 3 x weekly
CATHAY PACIFIC 6 x weekly
CATHAY PACIFIC (Dragonair) Daily
JETT8 2 x weekly
GREAT WALL 4 x weekly
FEDEX 4 x weekly

One day alone, Wednesday 5th September saw all seven flights
CCA B-2476
CAL B-18702
CPA B-HVZ
CPA B-KAA
JEA 9V-JEA
GWL B-2429
FDX N594FE.

OK, todays economic situation is a fact but it can't be the whole story.
In 2005/2006/2007 the airport was absolutely buzzing.......Something has/is gone/going wrong???
