Hi Cat II,
No problem.
The bottom line as I point out to Skipness is BHX would not have saddled themselves with £65 million debt for the extension ,if the current planes 777/787 etc could have reached these 10-13 hour destinations off the current runway ?
Believe me before you spend such big money your going to get your technical and Ops teams to be looking at all the performance tabels.
Will be interesting to see if BHX gamble in attracting these sort of routes comes off. Thomson are talking of doing direct Phuket with a 787 and that alone will could be a not to distant route for us, needing the extension.
Vancouver and Calgary would also require it,and Ait Transat may be be tempted.
