A B737 will always have a slightly less turn-around-time.

1. Less fuel capacity.
2. Less cargo volume.

For planning purposes both AIB and BOE use 40 minutes turn-around-time. An airline should use 45 minutes for planning purposes.
If the figures gets actually lower, it will translate into better dispatch reliability and better profit margins.
