Given the confirmation of Juneyao start date in July I don’t expect China Eastern to compete. ( Maybe wrong however the one airline one route rule and the fact that Juneyao are within the same sphere of influence as MU would suggest otherwise)
I believe Juneyao replaces China Eastern
Isn’t that what I said ; it was one or t’other !
Juneyao are around 25-30% owned by the same Chinese regional “development” and government bodies as are China Eastern anyway.
Remenber the Chinese Aviation industry is little more than a Ponzi scheme, international projection and manipulation of the three alliances is their goal 🤔👍
