Perhaps I might just be eating some copious amounts of humble pie in the future -
seems the three FR 737-800's are all stopping on a sixpence at SEN - not even back tracking after landing - but then SEN runway has just been resurfaced + grooved/treated for such operations, and is the approach/departure profile there without restriction ?
Of course these SFP 737's are flight planned to be as light as possible when they arrive back to SEN so they will not be HGW landings.
The longest sectors out of SEN are to CFU and AGP so I will be interested as to what the allowable payload is for take offs out of there...
