Gawd bless the planning Dept. eh? Luckily, there's always a use for a 747 with long legs!
I'm sure the people that think up these ideas are generally on the ball, but the ones we had at AN doing the INTL routes had NFI!!! The only, ONLY, INTL route winner all round was the BOC Bali flights, and that was really a glorified Domestic operation. The rest of their planned routes sent us (contributed) to an early grave!
