A question for you B747-437B , but I wonder if KQ and SK will find eachother as the latter joins Skankteam. ET is running two 787s (with 777 guest starring more often) from OSL/ARN and CPH (via VIE), once per day (with Oslo only seeing 5 termirnations a week, CPH 4). Now, I've done the 714/715 route a few times, both in off- and high peak. My anecdotal observation is that load factor seemed very high, well over 80% in Y in all my instances, and mostly well over 50-60% in C. Lo and behold, judging from a number of observations, I'd say it's a good mix between your typical ZNZ/SEZ/CPT tourist crowd and the rest of Africa (business, family visits etc).

Is it likely that KQ would try and compete, for example from CPH? Are they as strong on 5th freedom as ET, so maybe a CPH/ARN or CPH/OSL? Are you aware of any freight story that could sound sweet between NBO and the nordics? Or are KQ just not in a position to compete against ET in this market, at this point?
