When we operate our 787-8’s in SH config they have 345 seats, so not far off an A330. Not sure the plastic jet is the most suitable for many short sectors though. Boeing built them for long haul which is what we use them predominantly for, supplemented with a little short haul in the summer. I assume Jet2 would be the other way around, mainly short haul, with a few longer sectors to New York in the winter.
Thanks - guess you are TOM/BY?
Indeed, not sure what Boeing factored in on the 787 for regular short haul ops - The 767 from the outset could do both as BY and BA both well utilised.
Sigh the 767 was so versatile - Do a Palma or a ski flight in the morning then send it off to MCO or MBA!
273-290 in the -200 and 320 or so in the -300
Jet2 only have a small NYC series in the winter but use their A330's from MAN to the peak sun spots TFS PMI etc.
