even the greenest and latest technology cannot escape the APD taxes of the UK Treasury
APD is one thing, fuel consumption is another, but with respect you fail to recognise the salient point - a new 787 lease cost is c.US$1m/mth
Fuel cost, albeit lower then for a 330, becomes eclipsed by this enormous expense. If it doesn't work now on a 10-year old A330, it
definitely doesn't work on a brand new B787.
How Thomson will make it work I have no idea
