The start of direct flights to MNL has nothing to do with the 739ERs. The remaining 2 777ERs on order will be delivered by end year and this is when MNL will be served. The 739ERs will relief some of the A330s. BTW, you guys should work on your reading comprehension
Bad day at the office? 739ERs will release some widebodies to other destinations outside Africa and in my opinion the 77W are going to fill up the existing routes because they are upping frequencies on several 77W routes. They are running out of widebodies soon if they keep expanding.
