Cathay reduces flying to ‘bare skeleton’ network of 15 points

Cathay Pacific has extended its deep capacity cuts for another month, reducing capacity by 96% for April and May, operating a “bare skeleton” passenger flight schedule of just 15 cities. With the latest cuts, Cathay will fly 3-times-weekly to 12 points in its network to cities such as Singapore, London Heathrow, Bangkok, Vancouver, as well as Sydney. Cathay Dragon will operate thrice-weekly flights to 3 points: Beijing, Shanghai Pudong and Kuala Lumpur. Still, the carrier warned that the cuts could go further, depending on govt-imposed travel restrictions that have in recent days been growing. The carrier states: “Our ability to maintain even this skeleton schedule will depend on whether more travel restrictions are imposed by govts around the world which will further dampen passenger demand.” <br/>
