Does Mr Harbison know how many parking slots available at Macau? Isn't Macau the airport with the runway out to sea and with very limited terminal space?
A LCC of any great size, would need to have mainland bases for aircraft surely.
Why would Chinese government give favourable business conditions to a foreign, and very visibly British, air carrier?
Would a cross straights air agreement between Taiwan & China cripple a Macau based LCC or is casino expansion enough to sustain?
Will Virgin Blue F/O's undercut other pilots in the region to get a Macau based command? The only question I can answer and a definite yes. Phillipino pilots could not under cut the mainland Chinese; only Virgin Blue managed that as demonstrated by their Hong Kong overnight allowances for sim.
