Don't know your view guys but how about those foreign LCC currently flying into HKG? Perhaps they want to stop them also?
What a bizarrely ill-informed statement!
Foreign aircraft (be it LCC or legacy) operate using a slot and capacity taken from the air service agreement between Hong Kong and their home "state".
For every foreign LCC flight into Hong Kong, there's a flight available on the same route for a Hong Kong registered and operated aircraft.
Totally different to what Jet* is proposing. They're trying to be a "Hong Kong" airline, using the Hong Kong side of air service agreements to operate services to foreign ports. Hong Kong law quite rightly defines very tightly the definition and registration of a "Hong Kong" airline.
