Another thing: we donīt see that type of aircraft as 73H, but as 738, so that could not possibly mistaken us.

I think itīs the only country where the 737-800 is considered Heavy, donīt ask me why.

Best regards.

My mistake on the 73H then, but I remember reading something about it.

Then it must be a mistake from the authorities.
According ICAO it should be medium category.
