One would have thought that, given all the hype over all these 'emerging markets' - VS would be giving BA a good run for their money in them.

So could anyone explain why, iirc, VS were in on PVG first, but retreated from PEK, surely soon to become the world's busiest airport?

I think BOM was relaxed because of competition, but since then Jet Airways & Kingfisher have looked wobbly to say the least, leaving VS serving DEL only, and CCU unserved by direct flights (ex UK).

And I'm sure I've heard it said that SRB eyes up Rio as one of his target markets.

Any reason why these aren't going full throttle?
