Bangkok?
Surely the only likely carriers would be TCX - even that is unlikely as the deal with Condor divvies up east bound traffic to them.
Thomson? Much more likely on the 787 but 2 per week - tops.
Bangkok is a leisure route basically so 'cheap' will win the day - TG would get toasted by the MEB3 if they came anywhere near.

Trouble is when you as a CEO say you have x number of destinations and then start listing the glamourous sounding ones you end up disappointing folk when they find out that the reality is that (let's say) Boston is twice a week and probably not going to run in Winter either. I do however appreciate that the CEO's job involves talking the place up.

On that thought - I wonder how many year round daily (or more) destinations MAN has?
I believe this would be a much more telling statistic than '210 destinations' which is almost meaningless.

And.. great news about Nurmberg and at daily too. Not convinced it's new. Wasn't this served in the 90s by some propliner outfit???
