Tom B787

Referring to a previous post, when do TOM announce their schedule? As they will be basing "at least one" 787 at BRS (to quote someone else), it would be very interesting to know where they plan to fly
Thomson aren't taking delivery of the 787 until 2012 so it's probably a bit early for schedules to be announced.

Two or three months ago the Thomson MD announced that BRS would be one of the airports operating the 787 but I don't think anyone is anticipating the airport will see one based fulltime - not for some time anyway.

BRS is more likely to see the 787 visiting in the way the TOM B763 currently does with the summer weekend charters to Florida and Mexico, and presumably it will take over those routes.

It would be nice to think there would be more routes from 2012 but I suspect airports such as Manchester and Gatwick will be way ahead in the queue.
