What type of question is that?

Is it a serious question as it sounds rather childish!

The airport regularly has Boeing 744's from Virgin Atlantic and has seen TUI 767's as well as their 787's so it's not as if BFS can't handle wide bodies.

In the past the airport has handed many large jets including Air Force One, RAF Tristars and many charter airlines, the list is a long one I can assure you.

[BFS BHD]

There is plenty of room! Globel Trek Aviaton has handle all the US Air Force heavies including C17s & C5s!

[canberra97]

Yes including wide bodies from the past from such airlines as,

Aer Lingus 747,330
Air Canada L1011/747
Air Transat L1011
Air Trans America L1011
Britannia 767
British Airways 767
CP Air DC10
Wardair DC10
Worldways Canada L1011

Am sure there are others that I have missed and many diversions of course.

[BFS BHD]

And during the G8 in NI there was plenty of heavies on the ground!

[Wycombe]

British Airways 767

....and L1011's on the Christmas Shuttle's going back a few years.

stop living in the past..chaps

[NWSRG]

We can only hope...we know there's a market to both the USA and Canada, and we should be able to sustain something towards the east as well. Not to mention Europe.

So...

NEO / MAX to the US Eastern seaboard (JFK / BOS?)
NEO / MAX to Toronto
787 / A350 to MCO with VS (Easter - Halloween?)
787 to DUB (that's Dubai, not Dublin ) for everything east of the arabian peninsula
MOM / 797? Bound to make routes profitable that wouldn't otherwise be (ATL / LAX / DUB (instead of 787)?
MOM / 787 / A330NEO / A330 - any of the usual WB charters

All possible. But only time will tell...

Loved seeing the EI MD11 coming in!

[Husky One]

Pretty sure the VS summer op is a 747 again.

Your getting carried away with yourself now aren't you.

You know why this discussion has taken place by your ridiculous comment regarding if BFS can accommodate large aircraft.

By not replying by saying something like 'sorry chaps I didn't realise that BS could take such large aircraft' your now suggesting that I should grow up!

I know who needs to grow up, if you care to look back at your original question and how it was written you may think again.

[emma1]

NO I DONT THINK SO

[canberra97]

The response you got from your original question from myself and others and you actually think 'NO I DONT THINK SO'!

[emma1]

Stick to posting on the stansted forum

[canberra97]

I post on all forums when the topic is relevant as in this case, why point out the Stansted forum!
