I hope they are aware they can't go blasting off south like Qantas do! Not many airports at S70.
I wonder if passengers will be prepared to accept a flight that is a few hours longer (maybe even needing a tech stop?) in order to fly V Australia?

There have been quite a few IFSD with the GE90-115B in the Air France 777-300ER fleet.. as you mentioned it there's not a lot of airports in that area, might be pushing the ETOPS limit a bit
