Angcheek Hypersonic February 22, 2019 Share February 22, 2019 Wah...just 12 years since its inception. Destined to be a flying modern classic up in the sky, as I'm quite sure there won't be any one of similar size anytime soon. They already earn big $$$ from all those sales ..... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a stupid idea. Actually the hub & spoke idea is sound. Can practically get to any major city in the world from Sg via Emirates since SQ's network not that extensive To me, the weakest link is Dubai airport. It's like a giant, over crowded bus interchange w poor amenities 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
