ABZ and the B787
When it comes to the B787 is ABZ in a position, in terms of runway length, stands and taxiway, to accommodate it? I know stands 1A and 7 are equipped up to B767-300, but wasn’t sure if ABZ have factored in the newer wide body aircraft in their plans.
The reason I ask is surely with the likes of CWL having secured a daily QR 787 service to DOH with a catchment area similar to that of the North East, then surely ABZ even with the current economy could sustain a 3 to 4 weekly flight to the Middle East.
It really hasn’t been the best start to the year for ABZ, apart from the rumblings of Norwegian is there any other likely additions (apart from FR)?
