Jump to postInteresting co-operation, and even more interesting if EY does go the way of Star.
LH has a close relationship with SQ via Star, especially into Australiasia.
EY and SQ are major holder of Virgin Australia.
Does LH end up working with both into the far east?
I think is correct. A true W pattern is usually short haul, with the whole rotation completed with a single crew. examples in the might include MEL-SYD-CNS-SYD-MEL, with timings: MEL 0700 - 835 SYD 915 - 12.25 CNS 13.00 - 15.55 SYD 16.30 - 18.00 MEL Surely that couldn't be completed by a single cre...

A true W pattern would be Base to remote to third pair back to remote and finally back to base with same crew in a continuous shift For instance as example might be Manchester - Hanover - Milan - Hanover - Manchester with Flybe.

Jump to postLooks like it may be a short term operational requirement, as schedules are adjusted from 27 march as follows: UO 42 HKG 16:55 SPN 00:05 +1 320 0 -2-4-6- UO 42 HKG 18:05 SPN 01:10 +1 320 0 1------ UO 43 SPN 04:40 HKG 08:10 320 0 -23-5-7
Jump to postGenerally these schedules are driving by one of these factors: 1. it's a low yield market, and airlines use the opportunity for overnight flying. From an accounting viewpoint, if they cover the direct operating costs and then some, it contributes to overall revenues. 2. the sector length and time di...

Jump to postI don't see why you would need a 3-4 connection in Perth. If it is all in the same building the qantas should be able to do outbound in 60-90 mins no problem.

Jump to postIt looks like Jetstar's partnership with the Wanda Group has ended:
http://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/lif ... a788ee79d2
Any reason why? By all accounts it was a 'success'.
Bali's problem is not terminal capacity (which is easy to expand), but runway capacity.
it's pretty much slots restrained all day long.
the airport is also landlocked, which means a second runway would be near impossible.

Scoot also expanding into jaipur? very clever play in naming the aircraft KAMASCOOTRA!
it's a lot of capacity for a previously unserved sector. Probably out of reach for Tiger operations, but possibly within B738 range for Silk?
