- a bit more than 2689 metres I bet!
I suspect that a longer extension may also have an impact on 'noise envelope' along the approach. The last thing that NCL would wish to attract are further environmental issues. I also don't believe that the NCL planners could really demonstrate a cost benefit given the potential demand (not !) ex NCL for fully loaded West Coast bound 747's !
As for any potential Loco service NCL- NYC, then for me I need serious convincing as to such viability on a daily basis. A key issue is the ease of onward connections, else one may just as easily route through a European hub. Additionally there is also need to address differing levels of service which would require specifically fitted out 757's dedicated for such an operation. Good luck to GSM's effort from LPL, though for me I don't see that reviewing their future winter service offerings on their internet site says anything at all as to it's potential success... the jury remains out
