Regarding Pacific, I just found this in the Herald Sun in part;
Apart from passenger growth, one of the big attractions in buying into the business is the air traffic rights to both Asian and European destinations that Pacific Airways holds as a Vietnamese carrier.
These include the rights to operate direct flights from Ho Chi Minh City to Paris, which is well within the operating range of the Boeing 787 Dreamliners that will go into service with Jetstar International at the beginning of 2009.
