I'm not familiar with the L888, does it have another name? Or do you mean the L188 Electra?

vmike,

Might he be referring to flight route L888, for flights between Oz and Europe?

The new airway that is "supposedly" saving time between Asia and Europe. I hear that the only airline to be able to take advantage from it right now, since this route is so stringend with the FANS equipment.

I also heard that the cost savings are not that convincing and that there is movements underway to make it accessible to a couple more airlines by moving it (or creating new airways) a little further to the north. Such avoiding flying across the mountains for such a long time.

Cheers. .fcit
