I used to have the figures for the 738 and from memory something around 90 pax was the maximum that SEN's LDA of 1604m would allow. The only pax flights of a 738 at SEN were two Luxair departures to Pau with rugby supporters, both being full. The aircraft positioned in empty each time having flown the pax into LTN a day or so earlier.
