NRT may be well down but I know BA can still charge a minimum of a grand for an economy seat - you don't get yield like that on many routes. I'd have thought that with only a finite number of aircraft and slots there'd inevitably have to be cuts in the underperforming routes to release capacity for the newer routes. It'll be interesting to see how the HKG-SYD route fares as I hear VS are getting slaughtered on that one.
