So the 777/a350/787 and future long haul twins won't be allowed to the fly over the Himalayas. Not such a big deal when that'll cover maybe 2 to 5% of all long haul routes if that much at all.
Not that this seems to concern the airlines, more and more are ditching quads for twins. The Big twins are here to stay, regardless of your personal opinions, this is just cold hard fact.
And if you're trying to discredit the source of the article.... Seattle PI are no friend of Boeing's and have been quick to be critical of them.
Personaly I'll board any plane that gets me to where I want to go. And if that happens to be a twin, then I'll know why my ticket was cheaper
