You need slightly more than 1 plane to operate HKG-BKK and HKG-SGN. That will come from efficiency gained for the long haul flights coming into HKK. What worstpilotever was trying to say is that only one of the new 787 deliveries will be used to add BKK and SGN service. The rest will come from more efficient use of the long haul planes flying into HKG.
I tried to find a correct argument in friendlypilot’s post but I could not find one.
"Slightly more than one plane" is two planes.
