Old news, Waterskier! That article is from 2-1/2 weeks ago. Where have YOU been, water-skiing in Tonga?

I must have missed that on IntraCX. Sure as sh1t, GDL is a request option. I assume it's a freighter flight?

Service to Africa

Anyone know what the new service to Africa might be? My guess is Cape Town.
And to South America? Not sure the 300ER has the legs for Buenos Aires...

geh065 & Waterskier

There’s a few places in CrewDirect that at a quick glance we don’t fly to, eg GDL = Guadalajara, LGA = New York - La Guardia, and IST = Istanbul-Ataturk. I’m not sure what it means but I don’t think it means we are about to fly there.

Nairobi.

Insufficient traffic from CPT and a turnaround service HKG-JNB-CPT vv isn't economical.

NBO or LOS

I agree... Nairobi or Lagos... So many Chinese workers, business people and tourists in the that part of the world... CPT would only be leisure traffic anyway and Kenya Airways already flies daily from NBO via BKK to China (incl HKG). Though NBO's 6000ft elv. won't be good for performance...

Word on the Street is they're pulling frequencies off YYZ and starting up a daily EWR nonstop flight.

How this relates to Latin America? I have no clue

Cool

Why not resurrect the route to the 3rd largest Chinese community in Europe!

HKG-AKL on sby (special rq)

Excuse me veering off track here but I wonder if someone in CX might advise on staff travel possibilities (BA rtd crew on ZL) on the HKG-AKL flights. Thinking of heading to the RWC next week and as I'm resident in Ireland, don't really wish to have to turn back in HKG. Would probably choose Wed ex HKG as 2 flights that day. Many thanks for any info. Not asking for specifics but just wonder if it's a difficult route generally.

They're looking at Santiago in Chile which would feed into Lan Chile's network since they are the oneworld partner down there.

Auckland - Santiago is too far for the freighter, but easily doable for the 300ER or 4-engine bus. I think Santiago is much more likely outta LAX or DFW/MIA (other one world ports). This is also doable for the freighter although I would think somewhere in Brazil would be a better cargo market than Chile.

Pure speculation though...
