Air China
The new Air China service to Beijing was announced last October so not actually news although it has only recently commenced on 02nd May 2012 .
Not actually Peking the Capital city of the Peoples Republic of China has been known as Beijing since the mid 60s although the main international airport still holds the code of PEK.
Korean Air also started this week to Seoul, Air Nigeria to Lagos starts on the 17th May and on June 15th Caribbean Airlines start a service to Port of Spain and Barbados so a few new long haul airlines although it seems by the airport schedules Cubana have stopped flying from LGW!
All we want now is for Garuda Indonesian to recommence service to LGW from Jakarta/Bali and Philippine Airlines to Manila.
