A welcome Beast from the East! Looks like this is in lieu of the rumoured increase in frequency, for now at least. Seating config 46J/32PE/256Y Total 334, an increase of 54 seats per day.

CX equip change to -1000 is only temporary for now, runs Dec till Feb, then back to -900.

Saw the prototype -1000 in Hamburg (XFW) last week, a very attractive and impressive aircraft. Will be great to see them in MAN.
|
The first CX 350-1000 gets delivered next month, by the end of the year there will be 6 in total, now math is not my strongest suit, but 6 into 14 doesn't quite work!
Plus bear in mind a new service starts to the US in December which will be operated by the -1000. So chances are you may see the odd 1 or 2 a week in December. |
So are you suggesting the bookable & daily -1000 May get drawn back to just 1/2 a week in December? |
That could be awkward if they sell the extra 54 seats daily the -1000 provides...and a -900 turns up :}
|
Some more news, PIA increasing flights to Islamabad, up to 7 x weekly at some points
|
CX216 CX217 is being sold as a A350-1000 from the 1sr Dec through to 28th Feb. So if the aircraft is subbed to a A350-900 and it is full there will indeed be problems. No doubt the unlucky passengers will be sent on the BA shuttle to LHR to connect with one of the CX departures |
I've lost track of the Cathay A350 orders, they ordered 900s then upgraded some to 1000s then late last year downgraded 6 back to 900s and then deferred some deliveries. But I think Spanners is right in that they will be lucky to have 5 1000s in use by Dec 1st. Presumably having announced the 1000 on the MAN route must mean alterations elsewhere on the network yet to be published (?) If the 1000 is unavailable- with seats sold then I wouldn't be surprised to see a 777 sub on some services.

Yes but just wanted to quickly clarify as there had been mentioned it was going to LPL instead. |
there should be a A359 ex MAN and a 788 ex LPL
