Craig 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2020 12 hours ago, Mohd Suhaimi Fariz said: Probably because they need to redeploy planes to high demand routes for the Summer Olympics. NH announced a huge expansion due to the new HND slots (new flights to ARN, IST, MXP as well as increased frequencies to SFO, SYD etc.) - they probably need the planes from somewhere and SE Asia gets the brunt of it. Having that said, KUL capacity adjustments lasts for only 2 months unlike other stations where their NRT flights are halved for entire summer. 11 hours ago, flee said: Do also note that most of the cuts are from their NRT operations - it looks like for ANA, NRT flights are less popular than HND ones. HND's slots are use it or lose it. NRT on the other hand still have slots available. HND is also taking over some transfer pax (e.g. even with the limited KUL flights, MY-US pax are still able to transfer at HND to LAX, JFK, SFO - which probably accounts for more than 50% of the MY-US market on NH).
