It is hard to blame Qantas on this. There are politics at play in HKG. This is clear. I again say that Qantas is only an equal shareholder in this investment. Let us hope it gets legs soon. CX is doing everything it can to stop this start-up.
My goodness - this is news to QF management? They thought they would just ride into town and "kick a few butts" without knowing that Swire own the entire town? They didn't learn from the fiasco in Vietnam that doing business in that part of the world is shall we say "different"?
