I asked the same Q above a few days ago but no answers so far -
Q
If the 747-800 was chosen to fly non-stop PER-LHR I would think the trip
would still be payload restricted -
But to what degree v.v the current flight using the QF 789 and its payload restrictions ?
I would love to know and crunch the numbers to see how it compares the economics with the 787-9 (and the A350 or the new 777)
