3. Did capacity to Europe increase because LA is only airline that now flies directly from SCL to FRA?
4. Can LA's 340s fly nonstop to FRA?
I think that LA should consider serving LHR with its own metal and codeshare these flights with BA, which is its One World alliance partner. I also wonder whether a codeshare flight with AA to ORD would be profitable.

Quoting IAD380 (Reply 1): 1. Is LA likely to increase capacity and frequency on its flights to the South Pacific and Europe?
Well they will recieve 2 more A340's, 1 each in 2007 and 2008, not sure where they will go but i'd imagine that the current 4 is stretched on the 2 long haul routes they currently fly.
Quoting IAD380 (Reply 1): 2. Is it likely that flights to SYD and AKL will become daily in the next few years?
They were sposed to be daily this year, I think this will now happen next year when LAN takes delivery of its next A340. They are now 6x weekly.
