They may well claim to be restarting the Melbourne Doha Virgin flights in mid June - so why did I get the email from them  last week saying my August flights to Manchester / Barcelona  were cancelled ??

Um - $4m is not a lot of money in macro terms !

Biggest crisis hitting aviation in many years currently in the ME - yet the only news is Chinese trains, and inflight wifi ! 

Surely the large majority of passengers using this service will either be HEL / BKK or else MEL / BKK ??? The latter boosted strongly via code sharing with Qantas . Not really much demand for flights between Melbourne and Finland.....

Looks like Beijing Capital Air is ceasing it's flights From Qingdao to Melbourne after 1 July - but no announcement of this anywhere
