Jump to postI'm still to be convinced that PER has any ongoing usefulness as an international hub above any other port.

Jump to postThe proposed trial in 2020 that never operated was just two one-off flights. This MOU has state government backing probably through the Vic aviation fund, and is proposed at 3x weekly.

Jump to postIf KE or NH/JL were to start ICN/NRT-CUN flights, it would be operated with a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. I mean, that's a given. Their B787 fleets would be better suited to SZG or VIE.

If I were DL, I would move the PDX and HNL slots to make LAX-HND and ATL-HND double daily. DL cannot just move slots around as they wish, the slots were approved based on the origin of each flight. Arrival and departure times are pretty fixed as well, so you'd have 2x LAX and ATL flights each opera...
