Not sure if to put this in the sticky, so I'll leave the mods to decide on this one, although might deserve it's own thread...
Apparently CX reps were in Israel for discussions last week, with a view to starting the route middle of next year using their brand new A350s.
If this happens it is absolutely fantastic news, and I just cannot imagine how LY is supposed to compete with them (although they somehow manage on the YYZ route using a ageing 767, while AC use a brand new state of the art Dreamliner, with their new fantastic Biz product so who knows...).
