Is V Australia going to fly BNE-HKG??

[Andrew P]

On the Hong Kong CAD web site these requests have appeared, for V Australia BNE-HKG return starting 25 October.

VAU16 VHHH YBBN 1530Z-0000Z 1234567 361B77W

Any ideas?

Well it would seem strange for the HK govt slot site to have it there if they werent planning on flying there??? Though I havent seen any IASC applications for HK from them.

The times seem to work (I think I have converted correctly).

DEP BNE 2pm Arr HKG 8.50pm (connects to the VS LHR flight)

DEP HKG 11.30pm Arr BNE 10am (would be a longer connec from the inbound LHR flight).

Would this be in expense of MEL-LAX flight? I don't they have enough aircraft for both MEL-LAX and BNE-HKG?

They could also can BNE-LAX and use that aircraft.... so its one or the other that would go.

There has been plenty of speculation on other boards and this board, re MEL-LAX non stops not happening, and flights routed via Sydney.

Also if this slot thing is correct the service does not necessarily have to be daily.I think you would find 3 a week BNE-HKG.

The slot thing says DAILY slots...

Either MEL-LAX or BNE-LAX would need to be cut to make it happen.
