RE: CX To Merge With Air China?

Looks like to me that China's flag carrier might actually lose the flag one day. I think the intention of this merger is a very good one. China wanting Air China to be a major global player in terms of service and sheer size is trying to find a suitable partner that will help them achieve this goal....

With this bill, China has made clear its intention and will. That is they will defend Taiwan territory as their territory integrity and sovereignty. Not even 2008 Olympics is going to stop them as they have said so.

RE: A380: Cracking The Japanese Market

RE: BA Eyes Airbus For The Long Haul, A380

Those who thinks frequency can grow forever are not in touch with reality. Frequency has it's limit, and as a mature aviation market in most developed countries, it is fast approaching that limit. Maybe frequency can go up a lot more if you discover a new continent on the earth.

RE: A380, Air Mall?

I don't think showers are good ideas in a plane. To have showers, you need to carry gallons of water which adds to aircraft weight, and you need to have a place to hold the water also some plumbing service. How ever malls might work in the sense of small duty free shoping stands in a small area.
