Few on board in March for Cathay, Cathay Dragon flightsPassenger numbers on Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon combined tumbled sharply in March in the wake of entry and transit restrictions in Hong Kong, and drastic reductions in capacity. The two airlines flew 311,128 passengers, a decline of 90 percent from the year before. On each of the last two days of March, Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon flew fewer than 1,000 passengers. Cargo volumes also fell sharply. This month and in May, the airlines will operate a bare skeleton passenger flight schedule comprising 3 percent of capacity.
