I'm really hoping that one of these routes will be a return to Johannesburg. I never understood why TAP dropped it in favor of connections through Maputo in the first place. There is a huge Portuguese population in Jozi and South Africa in general. Surely must have always been a profitable route? I...

Jump to postI think this move has more to do with Etihad than Brazil - no alliance or partnership feed in Brazil or the rest of the southern cone of Latin America, and a business plan committing to profitability in 2017. Must have been a marginal route for them to begin with. They had Code Sahre with Aerolinea...

Nice additions to the network - although I'm surprised the likes of PUA, ZTH and MJV aren't being served from LGW alongside the other bucket and spade routes? Indeed nice additions! Maybe they want a share of higher yielding connecting traffic to these poorly served long-haul destinations, rather t...

I hope that this reflects that the flight is doing well? I would assume the route has been doing well for Turkish Airlines.

Jump to postLY flew TLV-GRU for years. It had immediate connections to BUE with both TAM and GOL.

And what about EK and other ME3 destroying MH, TG, SA, KQ, SQ, CX, QF.....?
They are a Low Coast Carrier. It doesn't mean they are a Low Fare Carrier.
Jump to postCouldn't QF begin an flight Australia-DXB-TXL?
This way they could feed TXL (the largest gap on EK network IMHO) to DXB hub on a JV-like partnership with EK.
TLV seems a natural expansion for both CX and SQ, because of no ME3 competition (although TK is right next door) and LY offers uncompetitive product and network for high yield travellers on their way to Asia and Australia/NZ.
Jump to postI wonder why no one here is mentioning LAN or now LATAM with their "mini-hub" (which isn't that mini) in MAD.

Jump to postGOL used to have GIG-GRU-EZE-SCL-LIM and FLN-POA-EZE-SCL-LIM, also GRU-CWB-ASU-EZE. They also had GRU-LIM nonstop, but the milk run used to cater to individual demand with 5th freedom right.
LATAM Brazil in november is beggining GRU-SCL-LIM with A321 and GRU-EZE-BOG with 763.
Even if there are lots of tourist at the Cayman Islands, long haul would not be profitable. Why does British Airways fly to Grand Cayman?

SIN-Africa is much higher yield than BKK or KUL-Africa albeilt lower volume.
It's possible for ET to be profitable even with emptier planes.
I also believe they could eventualy extend the SIN service to other lower yielding Asian destination such as MNL or CGK.
It is a matter of taste. While I find Uzbekistan livery amusing, I hate the livery of AA, JAL, Vueling and China Eastern. Boring.
