I think Sydney base will open in April next year and I suspect it will be with another RIN on the 747. The 747 is supposedly doing SCL/JNB/TKY until the end, however there is now talk of a second Perth to Europe service on the 787 so I don’t understand where they are going to find enough airframes to cover the 747 flying. Additionally they think the 380 will go to Haneda but the Japanese have said no, Korean and Asiana have been trying to get it in there for 2 years unsuccessfully. Suffice to say it’s pregnant with possibilities.
