Doesn't this require 2 planes, the first flies "Wednesday night" from HK and arrives Thursday morning in MAD and then sits waiting, then the second plane flies "Friday night" from HK and arrives Saturday morning in MAD, both planes are in MAD between 0720-1125 when the first heads back to HK and the second ones flies back a day later...1st plane sits for 2 days and 2nd plane sits for a day, why not schedule it more "B2B" style?
I believe you meant twice weekly.
This arrangement is similar to the one for AKL. The plane to AKL sits at the airport for 25 hours before flying back to HKG.
