Clearly a diplomat, or one in training

I note BKK-MEL is 2x daily, and BKK-SYD is 1x daily. I wonder what the impact on airframe scheduling would be to have one of the MEL flights do a run to AKL and back 3-4 times a week. Yes, there is an additional crew needed to position at MEL, and maybe that is the limiting factor.
