Congrats to Cebu and Airbus!
At a range of 3,160nm, this would allow flights from MNL to all of China, India, Japan, South Korea, part of Pakistan. Most of Australia is covered, but SYD and MEL, the two most important airports, are outside of the range... BNE and ADL are right on the edge, and PER and CNS are comfortably inside the range area.

In regards to Australia the plan was 2 A319 flights a week to MEL via DRW(Tech stop),3 x A320 flights a week to SYD via DRW(Tech) and 2 x A320 flights to BNE a week via DRW(Tech).
Approval was given 2 years ago but have heard no more except there is a few rumours about BNE in 2012?
