Can anyone with BA tell me why they operate a 777 service (BA4506/4507) from Tobago to Grenada (about 75 NM) and then back to Tobago before returning to LGW.
It seems like such a short setor for that type of aircraft.
Thats no big deal at CX we operate 55 min sector DXB - BAH most of the time in a 200 but on the odd occassion a 300. We also fly HKG - TPE (1:10) and KUL - PEN (55 min)
if they fill the seats then its more than acceptable surely?
It's a continuation of the LGW-TAB flight. Allows BA to sell service to both points with a single airplane, as they probably couldn't fill separate flights to each.
Appears they have local rights too, since the segment shows in timetables.
