If that article is accurate in terms of the 787 range from BRS (5000mi), then many destinations mentioned are still well out of range without moderate to severe load penalties or a fuel stop. Also I would love to know if 5000mi is based on optimum conditions at BRS, and if it applies to both 09 and 27.
LAX, JNB, GRU, and BKK are all at least 10% over the quoted 5000 mile range, and are the types of potential destinations the article refers to. (I am not sure there is an economic case for any of those except LAX possibly anyway)
YYZ, BOM, IAD, ORD, AUH, DOH, DXB, ATL, are all well within range of course, and with the exception of BOM and YYZ are all markets that COULD work from BRS in my opinion.
