Well this CX news is very interesting, not for the service but the impending action of Rampman :

can't wait.
As Ian points out 138,000 still transit LHR from MAN to HKG despite the EK, QR, EY services. I always use SWR or LH. However time is a factor & I'd rather fly on the same aircraft with a small tech stop than a transit & plane change in the middle of the night.
I won't do a jig but I'll eat my hat, new routes for next year have already been announced, including the tag between CDG and SPL, if CX were to tag MAN with someone you'd think it would be with either of those existing routes and not a new one via ZRH. As thare is no operation at either ZRH or MAN it will be very costly to set up, and CX doesn't like to spend!
ZRH - MAN happened a long time ago and it failed, lasted one summer if that.
I hope it happens but can't see it.
