Hear unconfirmed news its still CAT2 for NAIA.

I'm not sure of current loads but in recent chat and picking up/dropping of friends, PR has been cancelling one of the two LAX flights, merging both to one flight for the night.

Definitely a 747 fits nicely if its two flights merged to one but i would think PR want to use twin engine 777W, maintaining two flights, instead for this route.

PR should also consider increasing its cargo business.

Gas prices are still high and other Asian carriers are already sending negative outlook and cost cutting.
