as for the new UK destiantions im not sure. I know though that currently the plan is to lease two A340's initially early 2008 and these will be operating direct KL-UK until the so called 787's or A350's or whatever it is they are buying come into the picture in a later time. makes more sense to keep and maintain the whole fleet on airbus though since it saves on trg costs (only ccq required).
there's no fuss when your'e on a bus.
