BC Tam 2 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 Maybe someone did the maths and concluded that if the LHR slots can be sold off somehow, the money incoming will make the upcoming flow of red ink less embarassing than it need be, particularly if one has no inclination to continue in employment with the carrier And hey, many have said MH should take Garuda as a role model in turnaround of fortunes - they did abandon London, whole of europe in fact Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fashni M. 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 Since they are well and truly into code sharing with their OneWorld parners, perhaps we will one day just have to fly to BKK/SIN and get onto a BA/QF flight to LHR/OZ. Also use CX/HKG, JL/NRT as a stepping stone to East Asia/USA, QR/DOH for Europe/Africa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lim Kar Yong 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2014 Abandoning LHR and moving to STN might be a possibility since the airline could be heading down low cost model? Then we will have 800 pax A380 as flagship route - and economy class seating will be 3-5-3! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Maybe they are already planning for the next GE. Those A380 sure comes in handy to fly in Banglas and Indon voters. Â So who will serve the KUL-LHR vv route if this happens? EK, EY, QR.

I heard from my friend that D7 is now concentrating on A330 only and had pushed back delivery of their A350 to 2020.Why? Even on routes currently within range of the A330, the A350 shd be more economical to operate, no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
