Is the delay because of flight times (arrivals / departures) have not been locked down yet? .....and do we know yet if Delta will still use a B767-300ER on the NEW ICN-MNL leg? By the time this leg is active: a 339 will be arriving from SEA, a 772 will be arriving from MSP, a 359 will be arriving from both DTW and ATL. Will a switch to PDX-ICN (a A332 flight) be used instead of PDX-HND (a A332 flight) to then extend the ICN-MNL as a A332 leg? This change also gives Delta an open slot to add the 2nd HNL-HND flight (which was asked for and was not awarded). Just a thought.
DL has said only that ICN-MNL will use a bigger aircraft. Thus it wont be a 767, which makes sense as there wont be 767 US/ICN anymore. Cant just fly a 767 over without passengers for a short back and forth once a day. Awful waste of limited widebodies.
