The rumour of the HKG flight going to Australia 3 times a week was started last year. This was confirmed by a management decision to use 747-400 aircraft 3 times a week starting later this year. Two other rumours are using A340 aircraft from Dubai or 747-400's staging through Malaysia. It must be noted that the Ansett flight was never a codeshare, you had to use an Ansett flight number from HKG onwards.
