Cazza,

In your previous post you suggested that NQY become a transatlantic hub whilst citing LHR & LGW.

Well just take a look at the transatlantic aircraft and routes that frequent these LON airports ... faced with a reality check you then made excuses, to the effect, that you only intended it to become a transatlantic hub for the smaller of the longer haul airliners and only on N. America east coast routes.

You said NQY could accommodate a B777-200 at MTOW, well I have to admit that I know nothing about B777 performance, your wealth of knowledge regarding B777 performance is most welcomed, so bearing in mind the Cornish climate during the winters, can NQY accommodate a B777-200 at MTOW if the runway is 'wet' and, with 'still air', what TODA is required for a B777-200 at MTOW and with a 'wet' runway?

Call me negative, call me sour, sticks and stones and all that, but I'm not the one living in cloud cuckoo land!
