Sorry, been away for a while.

In terms of the new routes, 2 of the new routes have now been postponed due to the situation in Tunisia. They were to be 3 weekly NBE and 2 weekly DJE with Nouvelair. (Appreciate not 'new' in the traditional sense but still a route that didn't operate with that carrier last summer so 'new' in the sense it's an increase year on year.

The other route is just delayed, but will go hand in hand with some other increases due.

The Air China flights are still poised to start. Air China have started a few long haul routes with little lead in time recently, so, all is not lost.

In terms of Hainan, this is the confirmation from them about the A330-300:

Interesting MAN is lumped in the 'trans-pacific' increases?

There are some irons in the fire, they are just not happening as quickly as lead to believe. Some of them have had a semi-public confirmation from the airlines, just waiting for the final push now.
