Can anyone in the know confirm that Boeing has a new highest MTOW for the 77W available? 352,441kg up from 351,543kg
(352,441kg also happens to be the Maximum Taxi Weight on 351,543kg MTOW aircraft).
Canadian Civil Aircraft Registry is showing the High Density Air Canada 77Ws (458 seats) with this "new" 352,441kg MTOW and someone also posted that AC's original batch of 2 class 77Ws will get the paper uprate (from 351,543kg to 352,441kg) during cabin reconfig.
Any truth to this? Mistake on the registry website?
I would think if true, Cathay and EK would definitely some of the first customers to consider this option. Even if its only ~900kg more in MTOW.
Any Cathay pilots care to share if your latest aircraft have this increased MTOW?
I know EK's latest deliveries are all 2 class and 3 class (no crew rest) 340T aircraft. Have any of the 351T -300ER ULR aircraft received this MTOW increase?
Any help is much appreciated!
