Yet not so long ago there was a rumor floating around that Aer Lingus would be moving across the bridge. An A330 seems an awful large aircraft to use on a DUB route. So I'll believe it when I see it. I too would love to see the photos of the A330 using 27 for departure.
The 777, from what I can see, will never happen. For a start, as far as I know, there are no steps high enough, no 777 engineers and there will need to be a lot of strengthening work done to both the whisky apron and the runway to cope with the extra weights involved. The landing weight will be very similar to BY’s 763’s MTOW. On the plus side though, perhaps the extra weight will flatten out the hump in the runway...
Please feel free to correct me on anything.
