The larger aircraft are now benefiting from the lengthening of the runway beyond 1199m. Although the F70/100 could land at LCY, the operating economics were poor. The longer runway enables more passengers and/or more fuel for greater range, thus the appearance of the A318. The BAe 146-200 could operate a good (full?) load to and from Florence and the Crossair RJ100, 85 business class (heavy bar and food) to and from Zurich. I emphasis to and from destination airports as not all aircraft had this capability.
