Biggest difference in plane size on same route?
Just looking at flights from Bangkok to Phuket, and I see a 747 and a Jetstream 31 being used on the same sector.
One must be 10x the size of the other - is that the biggest difference between aircraft sizes on any one route? Looking at the distance, and frequency of service, I am surprised that either is economic to operate - isn't this more 737 type territory?
