"CX have been reportedly delighted with this, and want to make the route 8x weekly either with the B77W or A359."
Dobbo, have you actually read anything by CX to this effect? Out of interest, I asked at the CX office desk in T2 at MAN early summer I think it was, and they said they were hoping to get more flights for the winter. When I asked again in the autumn, I was told (by a different person) that the flights were always busy but there was nothing in the pipeline for increased frequency. Of course, it's not unusual I imagine for a local station to press for more flights but for Head Office to decide other priorities.
