What kind of day does a short-haul aircraft have?
I wondered this after returning from Malta recently. The Britannia 767 pulled in at the gate at Gatwick at about 2000hrs; to my knowledge the aircraft had naturally come out from the UK (I assume, as it was the flight I left England on, although it was not the same reg) and back again, and presumably would shortly be going somewhere else. Do they ever stop, apart from the mandatory maintenance periods? Do the aircraft ever get left overnight on some stands (I assume this would be pretty expensive)? The cycle of activitiy seems so constant.
