Could happen eventually, once DU get more 787's, would have thought they could fill a 2x weekly flight from LGW and/or OSL once you include the connecting traffic from Europe.
Are DU/DY having a hub at LGW, or will this be a "self-connect" arrangement?

But it would probably be quite a hard route to make money on when you consider the sector length.
That's my thinking.



I understand that if it happens it will go over the pole, certainly from Oslo, the figure from Oslo is around 13 hours, so maybe 14 hours from London, which is around half the time it takes going through LA
.

Yes, both over the pole.

It also avoids the aggravation at LAX, but is there sufficient demand and premium business for the route to pay its way?
