Have to agree with earlier post that VS should have really gone to SYD via somewhere other than HKG . Believe it was such a long term golal of RB to get to SYD he would go whatever the route. Maybe routes via say China Or KL were not available, or maybe the LHR-HKG sector makes enough mney to cover start up losses on the HKG-SYD sector. Maybe with starting DXB they may change the SYD route to go via DXB?
Or a secound HKG service?
