Watabench me old mucka - no tech stop neccessary from CWL, only BRS as CWL's runway is long enough.
Although I was having a discussion with some cabin crew the other day on the theories of length - us fella's have got it all wrong! Its all about the width!! All they need to do is widen the BRS r/way, and it will easily satisfy a long haul sector
On a serious note - it would be nice to see EK operating out of the valley's, filling Dubai with huge blokes wearing grand slam t-shirts singing land of my fathers over and over again.
Bring on the A380's!!!
