No not really, just that for BA to choose SEN for refuelling (rather than perhaps BOH) the E190 must be able to do SEN-AGP with a 35C surface temperature with some margin to spare I should think.
Talking of the A319, the two flights I thought might struggle today were 16:40/16:45 departures to AGP and FAO which were operated by A319s. I'm told both flights were "close to capacity" so that does rather put into perspective some of the pessimistic comments posted on here earlier in the week. What did one poster say? We should expect events that would be "a nightmare for those who will be losing their family holiday" (not you I know, but from your neck of the woods).
