Best structural resilience for CDG→NRT. Cathay routes CDG–HKG south via the Middle East/South Asia corridor, bypassing Central Asian congestion entirely. Trade-off: longer distance and Middle East advisory exposure on the first leg.

Weakness

First or second leg crosses the active Middle East advisory zone

Watch

Confirm with Cathay Pacific that the CDG–HKG routing is south via India and not east via Central Asia — Cathay does route-select based on conditions and may change. Also: HKG–NRT transits Chinese airspace; monitor PRC airspace policy.

Evaluated using advisory airspace exposure, corridor sensitivity, detour impact, and hub routing logic — based on EASA and national authority advisories.
