Chinese Tridents

Post by adysmith »

I see from Fleet Status that we have four out of six Chinese registered Tridents stuck at Chek Lap Kok (VHHH) with no routes to or from there.

If nobidy strognly objects I will move them all to Kai Tak from whence they can be repatriated to Guanzhou or Shanghai

Those were probably moved there for servicing as there as someone had a maintenance centre at VHHH where it was less expensive.

I agree having them there is of no use to us without routes. They all say on them "Bases : ZBAA ZGGG ZSSS ZYTX", those could be options but what ever you think is best is fine with me.

We have a total of 28 Trident 2's, 7 have already been mothballed and my initial estimate is that we need 6 in the fleet so 15 more to move to Kimble. Looks like we have 7 Chinese tridents, ultimately we should probably leave two of them in China and the rest can be mothballed.
