will the new 737max be able to op into GIB ?

GIB is one of MON's good routes -
the 738 does not go there nor does or can the A321

only Boeing types 732/733 and 734 ever operated there then the 757 and that had an expensive nose wheel prang once G-MONC

apparently Enter Air put a 738 there recently on a charter but it was a one - off

BA/Comair with new 738's have given up trying to get into the new St Helena airport which has similar wind and crosswind issues to GIB and FNC which make the 738 a no go and out of limits for ST Helena

sorry to bang the bleedin obvious drum but why would MON Jeopardise the GIB route with unsuitable new a/c unless it sells it off
