A B77W could take off from ABZs runway at a weight of around 600,000lbs. That's more than enough for a short hop to EDI but not enough for a direct service to Dubai with a full payload. It could probably park on Apron 01 if the PCN of that apron and Taxiway Mike are sufficient. RFFS would need to be upgraded from Cat 7 to Cat 9 and the shoulders of some corners on Taxiway Mike might need to be widened. There are plenty of oil workers that would welcome a service from Aberdeen to Dubai and there's probably a lot of cargo potential.
