Cabin crew it will be carrying the usual hordes of CAISSA middle class State authorised tourist parties.Just as the Manchester services do and significant numbers of unescorted boxes of stuff and nonsense below the plimsole line.

Including a few notable Scottish exports going east either in bottle tin or on ice for those with fins - Caveat these risk dropping off in volume if Trumps trade wars continues to threaten the Chinese middle class spending power.

China the Brexiteers dream economy is currently headed in a southerly direction and that Will have dire consequences on Global economic activity and UK plc is very likely to take a chill on top of the rather cold winds from self imposed withdrawal from the worlds largest most developed and frankly most stable market place just 28 miles offshore.

The numbers of UK business entrepreneurs going East in search of No 8 lucky rice quarries are less than stellar in reality and quite a few are further put off by Chinese thieves in high places !

BTW that also applies to those numerous HNA Group flights to and from no-mark Chinese towns to Heathrow just as much.

Someone who combines his sign in with a UK and US large airport might suggest Chingsha has a population larger than most EU cities and a trueism though how much spending power compared to say the Ruhr might be suspect on closer analysis
So I’ll stick with no - mark Chinese towns on this point.
