MUFC fan - I expect the aircraft type used will only change if the passenger profile changes, i.e. if more people book seats in Business Class, the airline will in due course make more seats available, either with additional flights or with an aircraft with a different seating layout.
Is the Newcastle route filling the Business Class cabin? Or in yield terms are leisure travellers calling the tune? Is there scope for a mixed operation (e.g. ATH-DXB has a daily 777 and a 4 x weekly A-330)?
