Background ✨
Hong Kong Airlines had previously suspended its Hong Kong-Vancouver service from 12-Feb-2020 due to the challenging business environment in Hong Kong1. The airline considered returning to the North American market, with Vancouver as a potential route, as it resumed other long-haul operations2.
