So please could you elaborate and state the criteria or reason why some went for CAT B ?
Looking the plates it is a longer Runway than I first thought, so maybe not so performance limited as I thought for larger types.
And while you are at it, I would also be interested to learn what A*, A2, B1 stand for. I have been flying for commercial outfits since almost 30 years but never encountered anything else than "A" "B" and "C".
And by the way: In our manual, Farnborough is listed as category "A".
