re my posting about GIB and MON/OM using 737 800 and MAX into there in the future.
GIB is a high value route and i found it hard to fathom why the choice of MAX
as it stands no one operates the 738 or an A321 into GIB due runway and wx limitations - enter air did take a 737 800 in recently on a one off sports team charter
a pal of mine flies for DY at LGW on both 737NG and MAX types he told me this re GIB operation for the Boeings
''coming back to you on your query roger . GIB is very limiting for both 738 and the 7M8, since the LDA is 1528m. Using Zero wind and a dry runway both aircraft can land with Max Autobrake at 62000kgs.
The NG is a Cat C aircraft for performance whereas the Max is a Cat D.
Would not expect airline operations onto a 1528m landing runway.
the 737-800NG and MAX have much higher APP & threshold speeds than the Classic''
