Yes wish HND-HKG is timed better. Can't really find good domestic connections on either direction. Between looks like KA just suspended HKG-HND according to Will Horton.

Popular route that wasn't profitable. Also if it's KIX-HKG, JL could have resumed it before the restrictions were lifted. Perhaps KIX-LHR if JL can secure the slots at LHR.

But is Europe the place where JL should expand though? How about regional flights within Asia, say India?

I thought they couldn't resume the KIX-HKG flight because of the restrictions
Yea, with KA cutting HKD-HND...only left with CX and JL to operate this route (OW wise). Let say if JL matches NH time for HND-HKG? Cause midnight Japan bound flight out of HKG seems profitable

But would there be enough demand between KIX-LHR?

Didn't NH cut its red-eye HND-HKG frequency too?
Thought the restriction was no more new routes unless it was called out in the medium term plan filed but JAL could resume suspended routes. That's why JL could start NRT-DFW.

NRT-MEL could be a contender for APAC even if QF beat them last year. Why? Let's just say my company is working with 3 JP Auto Firms for their Supply Chain and Logistics needs in th MEL suburbs and we are about to finish these massive warehouses for them with a total floor space of over 200K sq.m. considered the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere. That's business class money for JP execs and employees flying back and forth.
PER, MIA, AMS could be good candidates as well. KIX-LHR possible if JL recently was able to grab the 2 slot pairs of rumored sold for 75M USD but then I don't think JL is willing to pay this much money.

Not sure if NH did, as they are still operating around 10-11 flights weekly.

MNL is not well suited for overnight flights. It is too short. That could be said for HKG as well, though the return to Tokyo from Hong Kong is better suited. Helped by the time zone.
A return to Amsterdam could maybe work. But the connections would not be great on OW.
