Here's a few things off the top of my head...
1) What's the ETOPS on the all new aircrafts? For the AU/NZ flights, will the double jet planes (332, 333, 787, etc) make it through the vast expanse called the South Pacific Ocean?
2) If the new routes are bypassing NRT, what are the chances of reinstating KUL and KHH? Better yet, what about serving SGN, HAN or MFM via NRT once the flight slots are freed up?
3) What about continuing a flight from AMS to anywhere in East/SouthEast Asia? That way, NW has a RTW route network.
