I don't think China lets Cathay think anymore.

So it looks like it will be China Southern that China wants Cathay to disappear into.
Funny also that it is the CEO of QR who is aggressively wanting to expand OW.
It is QR not making awards available to QF and CX.
Does this mean problems for QF?

Its not like QF and CX are on the best of terms…

China Southern is not real competition for Cathay anyway.

How so?

They compete directly on AU- HKG and cathay is probably still pissed about Jetstar HK

Everyone has forgotten about Jetstar HK and if anything QF shareholders should be grateful it never proceeded given what a failure Jetstar has been in Singapore and Vietnam.
