Berlin & Stuttgart will come when the German authorities allow it, that's why there defocusing HAM...

Also, it has been quite a while since i drove into LAX and did NOT see a middle east flagged private Boeing or Airbus just at the Sepulveda underpass. Seems that there is a lot of back and forth traffic these days
Yes, but it is dependant on one thing...

HOW FAST ARE THE B777-200LRs COMING?
