SQ to get competiton ex-MAN for flights straight to APAC region

[milehighj]

Since Hadrian's Wall is really the northern arc of the M25, right?

I'd say this is a good thing. But then again I've only really been north of Oxford about twice in my life.

The CAPA analysis, if you overlook the litany of factual inaccuracies (MAN's first nonstop, cos, like, SQ and MH never did; APD is higher on CX than EK, which it isn't; etc, etc), was quite interesting, I thought

Back on topic, CX is only really competition for onward destinations where HKG is now more credible than SIN (i.e. Aus/NZ, but not M'sia/Indon/Thai), but would you rather that SQ goes back to using a junky old 772 on the route (which has about the right premium capacity), or are you happy with the extra stop on a 77W? Don't see this situation changing until the 787s arrive, alas

This could go one of two ways for SQ327/8, lets hope it spurs the return of the nonstops from Changi to MAN.....

Or better still, nonstop and onward to a North American destination

CX are returning to MAN from 08DEC. Only four times a week initially, but it will be nonstop as opposed to SQ327/8 stopping in MUC. Three class 77W sans F.

This could go one of two ways for SQ327/8, lets hope it spurs the return of the nonstops from Changi to MAN.....
