Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific Airways has won coveted rights to fly between London and New York on the key trans-Atlantic route, a Virgin Atlantic executive said on Thursday.

 

In return, Richard Branson's UK-based Virgin has gained permission to fly daily from Hong Kong to Sydney, where it can hook up with its low-cost carrier Virgin Blue, Chris Humphrey, Virgin's manager for government and external affairs, said in Hong Kong.

EDIT: EU-Zustimmung für Cathay Pacific vorausgesetzt. BMI, die selber seit langer Zeit Transatlantikservices fliegen wollen, werden wohl in Brüssel protestieren (The Independent).
