Shanghai marks slight uptick in flights as city ends lockdown and Hong Kong’s Cathay Pacific ramps up route frequency, but analysts warn recovery could take weeks

  • Only handful of international flights since end of March have departed or landed at city’s international airports each day, with most domestic routes suspended
  • According to analysts, it is still too early to say if lifting of restrictions will lead to more flights as it takes time for carriers to adjust schedules
