The December figures were for a daily SQ flight.

About the EK increase. You could say that about their last increase. Remember, they started with only one A310 (don't think it was even daily!). Then came the A330, double daily A330, daily A330 and daily B77W and now look - two B77W! Obviously, there is a limit to how big the market will grow and we can't expect all the carriers to grow and there are simply not enough people wishing to travel! But I would expect EK to be at the top of the list for wanting to collect as many passaengers as possible!

I agree with the CO/DL comment. I would also like to add that if the proposed DL/NW merger was to go through, wouldn't it be quite soon that we would see a NW service? I know that they are getting alot of PAX passing through AMS with them via KLM but surely a daily 752 would get them going? Most routes from MAN do seem to go either one way or the other - total disaster or exceptional.

So what are we expecting (wanting) over the next twelve/eighteen months?:

Air Asia - Kuala Lumpar
Air China - Beijing
Cathy Pacific/Oasis Hong Kong - Hong Kong
MASSIVE EASYJET EXPANSION!
EK/QR/EY/SQ increase in frequency/aircraft type?
