Well done Keesje, I really appreciate your graphs and diagrams.
BA operates a fleet of 7 B763 in Europe. Their big advantage is that they can carry B747 sized pallets in the fwd hold. The BA B763 have a large fwd freight door and the pallets are loaded sideways into the hold. This means that when they arrive at LHR they can be transshipped directly to the next flight without being repacked in the cargocentre. The 6 B767 every week from ARN are always full of cargo pallets, up to 12tons a day. The route could not support a larger aircraft for pax, so whats going to replace it? I was disappointed BA did not buy interim A330s for long haul which could have gone to Europe afterwards.
