Passenger Traffic

It was found that 65% of QF passengers that visited HKG were actually on a 1 or two day transit to Europe...in patricular LHR.Qantas wanted a piece of the action.
HKG has long been a better destination for shopping and nightlife than SIN.
FRA to BKK would be a better sector than FRA/SIN.Germans are still in love with Thailand.
Perhaps QF are close to obtaining rights from PVG to LHR?
This would perhaps replace HKG.
Still and all cutting down services to the UK in the year of the Olympics does seem odd.With the Ex pat population in HKG and Australians wanting to see the Olympics seats will be at a premium~prices go up and yield should be a bonanza
