Not sure I agree with many of the recent comments. For sure there is a degree of inertia in markets that means Chinese airlines are not getting the market share their price and convenience currently deserves, and ME3 may have taken a short term reputational hit, but consumers roll downhill as we have seen from the advance of the LCCs in short haul. So I have no doubt that the emperors new clothes will also be exposed in the long haul market. That means BA will not only not have an economic reason to extend its Asian network, but might actually end up contracting it.
