There have been endless arguments on Bristol Airport threads as to whether the CO 757s to be used on the BRS-EWR service (starts a week today) will be able to regularly fly non stop from the BRS runway.
CO and the BRS management are adamant that they will be able to do so under all conditions because the aircraft to be used will be the 757s with winglets.
LBA and BRS are pretty similar I believe in having limited runways, dodgy weather and the two highest airports in England (if not in the entire UK), so if CO are right about their wingletted 757s making EWR from BRS presumably Jet 2 757s ought to be able to make TFS from LBA, although the CO 757s only have 172 seats.
