The Airport Company in DUD can confirm that this will be the first B767 to visit , the largest aircraft previously being a USAF C-141 starlifter on a familiarisation flight with DUD an alternate for Antarctic flights to the ice. Also, Freedomair and Kiwi both used the B757 into DUD a few years ago.
The airport has all facilities required to handle a 767 with the exception of a pushback tug however there will be no need for this requirement.
