re: Norwegian seeking (Argentinian) rights for Buenos Aires-Sydney and Buenos Aires-Perth ...
The former sounds possible, the latter sounds improbable. I always thought that we would eventually see Norwegian reach Australia somehow, but never thought it would be from Argentina! I know that Norwegian is just seeking traffic rights and isn't proposing - yet - to start services but wow! A great development I believe. Wonder if Jetstar have any longer range expansion plans like these from Australia. Been a while since talk of Jetstar reaching southern Europe was bubbling away, and Scoot in the meantime has nabbed Athens as it's first Euro-route.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting though I had never thought a route from South America to Perth would ever be considered. EZE-PER is 6700nm for those interested about 1100nm shorter than PER-LHR or about 100nm longer than DOH-SYD. EZE-SYD 3 weekly and EZE-PER 2 weekly according to the following thread

While they are seeking traffic rights only its an interesting development. SYD-EZE is just under 6400nm. I have thought that if they started service to Australia it would be done from Asia or even a nonstop from Europe.
I believe JQ has no plans to fly to Europe and their focus is Asia.
Just throwing one out there.
Recently there was talk about Perths second airport out towards northam.... the people behind it were saying they had a european airline onboard.
Norwegian?
