But OXF's runway is only 1592m. That's going to need at least one tech stop - Oxford might be ivory tower central, but LCY it ain't.
Phileas, my question was a technical one - can a 738 get in and out of Coventry? Yes. Which destinations can be served with a full load? Unanswered.
Technical data can provide the gateway to speculation - if it isn't technically possible, there isn't much to speculate. I know there's absolute zero chance of seeing 738s at BRR for example.
I've already said I think a 738 at CVT is unlikely - so I am only speculating on a particular scenario developing. If BHX slots were full, I'd be much more optimistic - but they aren't, and prognosis is that they won't be any time soon. But not too long ago, projections were for a 3-fold growth in the industry by 2030. I didn't buy that, but I also know recessions don't last forever.
