Hi,
I was just looking at the BA factbook from 1997 and I noticed several routes that I did not know BA served (more to the point, I cannot remeber them serving these routes).
They are;
Jakarta
Seoul
Nagoya
Osaka
Colombo
Does anyone know how often and with what equipment these routes were served with. I would be particuarly interested to know about Jakarta.

Jakarta was served as a continuation from Kuala Lumpur on a 744 out of Heathrow. As you say the frequency was cut from 6 to 2 in '98 when BA started a thrice weekly LHR-KUL-SYD service. Then a year later I think in March 1999 the Jakarta service was scrapped altogether.

Kuala Lumpur also got the axe soon after although it operated with excellent loads 5 times a week with the 777-236IGW - back then - it was BA's longest 777 route
