Quoting LGWflyer (Reply 3): Wow thanks for posting all these. Interesting to see that a few LGW routes are near the top!
You're welcome. LGW is the "Most Improved" airport since the last update. It went from zero active routes over 5000nm to 3 active routes over 5000nm (KUL on Air Asia X, SGN on VN, MRU on BA)! Plus the upcoming Hong Kong Airlines HKG nonstop.
AMS also had a very impressive last several months with the addition of KL nonstops to EZE, UIO, GIG, and (from) GYE. Also, the new Arkefly AMS-PVR nonstop.

Many thanks, BNAOWB, for filling in for me while I've been on the fly.
A thing of beauty, in my eyes, is the latest update - and now with no less than 248 active flights - pretty amazing in these economic times.
I'll be resuming the update in January, and since we haven't polled for further routes in ages, look for it in Civil Aviation (pending mod's approval, of course).
