@AvWeekScho Cathay Pacific execs say during press briefing that HK Express subsidiary is well-positioned for growth if LCC demand recovers faster than full-service. Currently expect HK Express fleet to be “well into the 40s” by end of 2024, vs 28 now.
@AvWeekScho Cathay chairman Healy also adds that the group’s ambition is for HK Express to remain largest LCC in Hong Kong, and therefore it’s important that it keeps pace with market and grows its fleet as demand recovers, so it can “maintain a clear no. 1 position in the (LCC) market”.
