Surely an aircraft of this size would be more economical than a jumbo, besides a fully laiden (fuel, pax and baggage) from NCL??????

Yes I was just about to make this point, 2350 metres or whatever, even without hills & bumps is not a great deal to offer a 747.200 operating on any significant sector legnth full of holiday punters. So basically what you would really be offering is not a "one stop" route. Can't see it happening, especially if more modern equipment is available. I recall in the 70's & 80's before the arrival of "next gen's" NCL had YYZ offerings by 747 from Wardair / CP Air, but there was a stop on route PWK or SNN I believe. Ah those were the days !
