How does this square with the need to suppress a cargo hold fire? My understanding was that the B787 can do this for 180 minutes only. The A340-500/600, for example, can do it for 240 minutes and therefore are limited to 240 minutes from a suitable airport. Are they planning to modify the cargo fire suppression system to 330 minutes on the Dreamliner?
