Metro man,
Re singapore fly 4 times daily perth Singapore, Qantas once,
Can everyone please get over this carry on about how many more frequencies singapore and Cathay have to/from Australia to their hubs!
For example take a look at singapore to Dubai, emirates 3 daily, singapore one!
Osaka Kansai to Hong Kong, Cathay 4 daily, code share with Japan Airlines, but all Cathay metal, All Nippon one!
London to Dubai, British two, Emirates five, and all A380s!
So on a global basis it is not uncommon for another airline to operate greater frequencies out of another airlines home base!
So yes singapore and Cathay have greater frequencies ex australia to their hubs, and a lot of that traffic is onward transfer to other destinations.
But in other markets they do not provide the greater frequency!
