Has CX ever planned their A340-600 from YYZ to HKG? Or are they planning to do so?

Thanks
Brad

No. A340-600 is for HKG-JFK nonstop, and that takes up two planes. The third usually go to LHR and sometimes TPE, KIX, SYD, etc.

I heard CX is starting nonstop to YYZ when the 777-300ER comes into service next fall. A340-600 will stay in the fleet for HKG-JFK for a while until enought 773ER comes, then they will be sold to other airlines.

I've also heard that the A340-600 will stay in the fleet and will be used on the YYZ route for a while I think I read that on this board. Though I think they are planning a second daily non stop to JFK so the A346 will stay on that route while the first 2 77W's will also be used on the JFK route, second flight.

What's up with all these airlines with the A340-500 and 600's replacing them with the new 777's? Is it because of fuel prices or reliability, maintenance etc.

Thanks

Cheaper to run I think mainly, and better range on the 777.

The plan is always changing and nothing is confirmed, however rumours have it, that as it stands, when we get enough 777-300ERs to launch a longhaul route, they will be used to launch the 2nd daily JFK non-stop. The A346s will leave the fleet at the same time so it is possible that YYZ will never receive A340-600s scheduled into there.

True plus overall savings of two engines versus four. It all really depends on the airline. I would love to see CX fly the A346 into YYZ, but chances are it will be a 300X as they have more of that type in inventory.

Never be afraid to stand up for who you are.

I've seen the A346 back in the summer of 2003 at Vancouver airport. Atleast I think so if I've not mistaken.

Thanks

The first CX 77W is delivered in Sept 07 IIRC. Rumours persist about a second daily YYZ...any news about that?
