Makes perfect sense that they cancelled their Asia flights. QR has a ton of capacity into all 3 markets and provides 1 stop connection to Asia from all the destinations US destinations with the exception of SFO on their own metal.

Expanding from MXP to US makes more sense as it seems QR's tactic to get around the deal they announced to no add any additional 5th freedom routes.

Sounds like their marketing department doesn’t communicate much with their network planners.
And now Chicago is being cancelled before it even launched the flights....
What happens to the planes that these 4 routes were going to use?
