Perhaps instead of putting in putting permanent destinations they could perhaps look at seasonal operations, eg, SYD/MEL/BNE-HKT in there peak season. I know they used to use the B777-300 to HKT but thats gone, now its just the B737 ex PER. Like in earlier posts they have already said that its cheaper to fly the B777 from SYD-NAN than keeping it parked on the ground in Sydney? Now that they are also starting flights from AUH-KUL-AUH it will be interesting to see what they consider
