Will EK be able to use the 787-10 at BRS even with a reduced load? Not sure if they’d want to dilute BHX and LHR though. Interesting though that EK don’t offer connections to BrS like they do to CWL via GLA
The 787-100 is 38ft longer than the -800, but with the same wingspan. So on the ground shouldn't be an issue. Apparently EK's will seat between 240-330 passengers, where TUI's -800's seat 300.
I guess it's all dependant on weight and performance. Bearing in mind EK would probably want some kind of cargo operation.
There aren't many flights EK could codeshare on at BRS. They don't tend to tie up with KL/AF, which only leaves BM and EI as a scheduled carrier as FR, EZY etc don't do codeshares.
