Seems Virgin Atlantic are dropping the Hong Kong-Sydney extension for a new focus on the North Atlantic with Delta. Effective from May, and means Hong Kong base will close. Rather ruthless on the timing or perhaps a much needed focus shift that was years overdue.

Is Hong Kong really a good market for them going forward? They're now dwarfed by five a day Cathay and BA using new A380s and B77Ws. Perhaps a US city might be a better more JV friendly focus?
