Nationwide Airlines to LGW

[RUDAS]

Hi all

I heard a rumour that Nationwide Airlines ,South Africa, is planning a b767-300 service to Gatwick from joburg. Anyone got info on this?

Also, and quite by the way,would this kind of plane have the range and ETOPS clearance to fly joburg to, say ,Bangkok or Perth?
