Is it possible with pax loads so high on cx flights to hong kong, hainan have decided to scrap 4 weekly and go daily instead, hence the with drawing of the slots. Maybe they see a lot of potential in the route and want to get one step a head of cx before they go daily. Just a thought. Or possibly hainan are scared off by cx and will instead go 2 weekly. I think the man-pek route is a go-er just depends what frequency hainan are planning. With all the new competition for long haul at man, more airlines want a piece if the pie. Tax
