I am confused though, I was at a meeting when I was told the 787 could fly to Hawaii fully loaded off the Luton runway?
Maybe the sales brochure and reality are somewhat at odds?
Yes the Hawaii quote is one I remember. It sounded like a real USP for the 787 hence my surprise that it can't fly to Cancun from Luton's runway fully loaded. Or can it?
I presume that once El-Al get their hands on theirs, we will occasionally see them in passenger service at Luton from/to Tel Aviv?
