that's good news. Do they have any plan to add more cities to their network in the United States?
maybe MIA?

I suspect that KE put IAH and MIA on the back burner for now, if not dropping the proposed new US gateways altogether. With the skyrocketing cost of fuel, I can't say that I am too surprised. DFW despite not being a 'Sky' hub is working out well for KE, and seems like a smart move, imo, not to rock the boat for an untried market.
Actually KE recently cancelled their initial plan to increase LAS one more weekly. So LAS remains as 3x weekly. By the way, KE will have additional 3/w LAX late July-August, with old config 772.

Which flight will operate these new 3/w flight? Is it KE015?
After KE introduces new KE061 flight, there still will be KE015/6 on LAX-ICN? or is KE061 taking over KE015's schedule?

Excellent news for DFW! Basing it all of O&D and no hub feed from the DFW side, I must say that Im impressed.

I agree. I think IAH will see a Far Eastern carrier, but it wont be until CO decides what theyre doing. If CO joins OW, I wouldnt be surprised to see JAL come to IAH.

Well, they may change things again, but currently running 015/016 (3rd ICN-LAX) will be replaced to 061/062 (ICN-LAX-GRU) from next month. Schedule is mostly similar, but day may be changed. Between late July and August, 015/016 will be back with its old schedule (current schedule), with old config. Other ICN-LAX nonstop flights as well as 061/062 will have refurbished planes.

IAH is starting to see a few more Far Eastern carriers, with Singapore being the biggest surprise. They're also starting to see more Asian freighters. But someone will have to make a success out of the service before we see more of the Asians show up.

Well from what I have heard SQ's loads this week are looking good, but that is primarily due to the OTC conference this week.
Also I have heard that Moscow's airports are raising tariffs on landing fees to foreign carriers by some 30% which could add more pressure to SQ and their IAH service.

The problem is that SQ isnt really in a position to serve IAH-far east market (beyond SIN itself) due to its routeing. A flight from JAL or KE would solve the problem.
