Maybe I've got it completely wrong but my interpretation was that the lifting of restrictions was a benefit for Virgin - more pax on carriage and potentially more to unlimited wide body slots.
As I said, Im no expert and happy to be corrected.
Exactly unlimited wide body slots......Virgin International's earning potential just fell off a cliff.
Do you think the Chinese behemoths are going to sit back and let Virgin take all the gravy now its open slather?
Virgin are pretty good at denial but even for them this must be tough......Good luck going up against Air China,China Southern/Eastern and probably even their own sponsors....
The rules have changed with China and its going to get very interesting and expensive.
