Positive gain for BRS but with only actually 3 long-haul a week (1 SFB and 2 CUN), I can't help but feel this is a bit of a wasted use for the B787. I can see the justification for the odd short-haul maybe from the likes of LGW or MAN to fill in any gaps between long-haul rotations or positioners between bases.
I don't wish to start any airport battles, but I do find it rather unreal that long-haul from the likes of STN and EMA has been canned in favour of long-haul from DSA and flying a B787 mid-week from BRS to Spain!
might they use an short haul configured frame likey they usually have 2 each summer. The 787 in all economy would still be able to do CUN and SFB in all economy. I can’t think they’d need the premium seats at BRS. Then they have the capacity for the short haul routes as well? I might be way off but just a thought
