Mungo, Helli-Gurl was a lot closer than you think, thanks to ETOPS we dont have the fleet to do twice a day 7 days a week via that route, the general strategy is to look at getting into Europe via the East, hence cultivating links via SIN and HKG with Lufthansa and we're buying 777's to aid us in that.
The LHR-LAX-AKL is far more lucrative to us from a frieght point of view, whereas going via the east, gives us the opportunity to tap into BA's lucrative PAX market.
Hey Ana, how's your Dad by the way? not seen him in a couple of weeks, heard you havent been well, so he's been up there seeing you....get well soon chick!
