Episode 184 - Brushwing Rising in HKG

Aired on June 5, 2023

Cathay Pacific’s Senior VP, Americas, Chris van den Hooven joins us as his carrier bounces back from Covid19. China’s “zero covid” policy has kept Cathay Pacific out of the resurgent Asian travel market but now, with restrictions lifted, the sky’s the limit. Also on this episode:

• We look at rising traffic volumes in Asia

• China’s first large jet, the COMAC C919, starts commercial service

• What are the angriest airports in the US?

• Cathay Pacifics pre-Covid rise in the Pacific

We end with Chris regaling us with bar recommendations for when we visit Hong Kong, and can tape with him IN PERSON.
