Hi,. .sorry for beeing less than clear: I mean the new airway over China, that will save some flight time to Hong Kong..... .Klaus
The new airway that is "supposedly" saving time between Asia and Europe. I hear that the only airline to be able to take advantage from it right now, since this route is so stringend with the FANS equipment.
I also heard that the cost savings are not that convincing and that there is movements underway to make it accessible to a couple more airlines by moving it (or creating new airways) a little further to the north. Such avoiding flying across the mountains for such a long time.
Cheers. .fcit
