Today’s new operator into Hong Kong was West Airs flight 8643 from Zhengzhou. The route was operated by an Airbus A321, and is also scheduled for a flight next Thursday. If this is a new ruote or just two test flights is not known, but it does seem like more and more operators are coming to Hong Kong – new and old ones alike.

This week there has been several announcements from east or north Asian countries about opening up. The most significant ones has been:
British Airways has announced that they will resume daily flights between London Heathrow and Hong Kong effective December 5, 2022. They will for now operate a daily flight with a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
British Airways used to operate two daily flights before the pandemic, one Boeing 777 and one Airbus A380, so we are quite far from the capacity they used back then, but this is still a sign of traffic starting to come back to Hong Kong now that arrival quarantine has been canceled.
ANA has announced that effective 31st of October 2022 they will resume flights between Tokyo Haneda airport and Hong Kong with 4 weekly flights. They will be the first airline to resume flights between Haneda and Hong Kong, although there are several daily flights between Tokyo’s other main airport, Narita, and Hong Kong.
