I very, very much doubt that this will (excuse the pun) get off the ground.

That runway is far too limiting for anything other than biz-jets and regional jets (although even then the regional jets, etc., need to look very closely at their performance when full, wet, warm, and so on).

Belugas, and any A330 based replacements, only fly out of there with newly manufactured but unfinished and empty wings, so the load that they'll be carrying will be way, way less than a full set of seats-with-bums-on, so they'll most likely be a long way from their performance limiting loads.

Nice airfield though and lovely city.
