The situation at Hong Kong Airlines seems to be getting worse by the day. A couple of days ago I wrote about how Hong Kong Airlines is struggling to pay staff their November salaries on-time. Then yesterday I wrote about how how Hong Kong Airlines is ending all long haul flights, as they're ending service…

@Flyer well they don’t have true long-haul flights anymore except flights to Maldives 😉
It is guaranteed that Hong Kong Airlines may go bust very soon. Then? Virgin Australia will probably permanently pulls out of HKG earlier than expected.
@Icarus
They're still operating flights to LA until early 2020, no?
"Whether that comes in the form of the airline voluntarily suspending operations, the airline having their license revoked, or HNA Group injecting more cash, remains to be seen."
We should start a betting pool. Who will go out of business first, Hong Kong Airlines or AtlasGlobal?
We flew them in J just yesterday NRT-HKG. The flight crew / service was professional and courteous considering their paycheck probably bounced. IFE worked.
We had booked back in March, and were quite nervous the airline was going to fold over the summer. Quite relieved to have gotten through the flights before all of this.
Virgin Australia recently signed up a JV with Virgin Atlantic for AU-HKG-LHR and AU-LAX-LHR and will be required to keep SYD-HKG as part of the VS partnership, despite the partnership with HX is looking likely to be winding down.
Virgin Australia has already downsized HKG by cancelling MEL-HKG and replacing that with a partnership with All Nippon (NH) on BNE-HND instead.
@Aaron @Icarus as well as Vancouver for the next couple of months, so @Flyer is correct
So far as ongoing ticket sales are concerned, you'd have rocks in your head to buy a ticket for travel beyond, like, tomorrow!
I'm from SE Asia and while a lot of my family is travelling through the region, none of them are on HX. I put them on the no fly list after that report over the summer that multiples planes were flying that had been flagged as missing parts.
If they can't even pay for IFE, I wonder how they are able to afford the fuel to fly the planes?!
Checked in at BKK tonight for a A330 flight to HKG and there was a printed letter on the desk apologising for the lack of IFE. I'm rather glad this is our only HX flight and we look like we will make it before their license is pulled!
