Not trying to stir the pot, but I am wondering what Asian carriers are in ST. The ones that I can think of are: KE, CZ, CI (official ?), MU (potential ?), BR (?). I am sure I am missing a few.
LAX
CI seems pretty official from the news earlier this year, but don't know when their actual date will be to join. BR wouldn't end up in ST because of CI. As far as route network goes, CI is probably the better of the two but BR may be the better airline otherwise.
Other than those mentioned NW and CO both have their own Asia networks from their hubs in NRT and GUM, though neither are terribly extensive.
