Willy wombat,
Have to agree.
With Vietnam joining the rumoured initial start of Phillipines at LGW ,just leaves Garuda in the far east catergory.
With the airport commission due to rule later this year on which london airport gets a new runway ,you can see LHR bleating that LGW is nothing more than a leisure airport and a stop gap for long hauler foreign scheduled airlines until they can get to LHR.
Not that I think either will actually get one built in the next decade.
