DY are saying ORK-NY may not happen next year as they believe fully loaded MAX wont make it because of the runway in Cork. They are waiting to see performance data on this years service but on paper NY unlikely.
Its an extra 250km.
From a different thread.....
How is the landing performance looking for the -8? A full load -800 at around 61-62,000 kgs LW can get interesting on runways less than 2000m. With the Max being a few tonnes heavier, are we expecting a short field performance package to be standard fit to allow unrestricted ops into the shorter runways?
These length runways would be common in my airline and we have a lot of Max's on order!
