I wasn't suggesting that LHR was Vietnam Airlines biggest European market. No where in my post did I mention that. And of course I'm totally aware of the fact that Vietnam Airlines serve CDG, A SkyTeam fortress.
Its obvious that your not getting my point.
The point is, why would HAL want to lose a long haul flag carrier to a country unserved by any other airline.
FYI....It's only 290 miles between LHR and CDG, not 400 or so miles.
