The 737-800s have been operating on routes to the Canaries, Cyprus, Turkey and the Greek Islands as well as on shorter routes. Have there been problems with them at BRS during this time? I've not heard or read about any.
my pal a skipper at BRS on 757/767 for BY (previously he was on the 'Bus' ex AMM) for many years mentioned to me he dreaded going over to the 737 as the landing restrictions that a 737NG and a MAX could face with HGW's MEL's and weather such as cross wind restrictions at BRS's short runway which means a diversion is ness more often than not - as 737 ops ramp up no doubt this will be an issue
the 757 with its big brakes and big engines is more forgiving as you know
