Don’t forget the HKG is the central hub of two regional airlines and a major international airline (Cathay Pacific).

While IND is home to a Delta Air Lines regional affiliate (Republic), it doesn’t serve as a hub to the flight operations, but merely the corporate headquarters.

How Cathay Pacific is surviving today is a total mystery to me.

Cathay survives cause they are owned by SwireAlso they basically Monopolized the Air Cargo Biz throughout covid into HK. If companies are using their planes for Air Cargo; they still own the Cargo Terminal that processes everything entering and exiting. As well as owning the maintenance company; where a lot of airlines outside HK fly over to do their work.

On top of all the cost cutting they did to their staff; including, but not limited to, closing Dragonair outright. Most employees found out their company disappeared when they couldn't get into the building.
