I think it'll still be considered as:
1. "Protection" against TT returning from SIN-DRW etc
2. A way of extending JQ into asia (given link up with JQasia and the Vietnam airline ?Pacific air) in a relatively low cost way. Plus i'd say if you're going to base there, the airport gets flow-on benefits and will give you a cheaper rate.
If you think about it, the A320 will reach most ports in SE Asia but prob not Japan. I'l lhave to have a look and work out potential range / destinations in that range.
I'm sure the plan would be to have hubs out of DRW, Vietnam and proabbly BKK or SIN (if possible) with the three airlines.
Ok, you are right...
