Maybe this virus will be the final nail in the coffin for NAI.

I work the overwhelming majority of Asia and Pacific flights into and out of LAX, the decline in traffic over the last few weeks has been really really noticeable. We’re still getting some flights obviously, but the times of day that used to have huge pushes of Asian inbound/outbound traffic are way less busy overall.

Also, the already struggling carrier Hong Kong Airlines will almost certainly go out of business before this is over.

It would be a real shame to lose CX... Travelling in their First Class was a life experience that fed my airline nerdiness...

I don’t think we’ll lose CX. They have very strong backing from HK giant Swire and some mainland Chinese groups.
HK Airlines is a different matter... But they’ve been circling the drain for awhile.

Maybe, but they may end up like Hainan Airlines. The Chinese government may disolve the airline into other carriers to try to keep the jobs afloat. I guess that means airports like BOS and SJC may be seeing China Southern or China Eastern when the dust settles.Cathay Pacific has parked half their fleet and cut 2/3 of their flights:

You mean HK Airlines, or CX? I definitely don't see that happening with CX.

Hong Kong Airlines, who is also part of the Hainan group. CX will be "fine", as far as survival in some form goes.

Madness? That they single engine taxi and still couldn’t make money?

Yeah, well... I'd like to apologize too. To myself... for once being dismayed and disheartened about being a mere GA/135 guy.

I'm pretty sure the evolutionary purpose of airlines is not to carry Pax, but only to provide Wall Street with advance notice of economic conditions and market movement.
