GW for different routes
Hi,
am wondering if the companies that you work for use different GW for the same aircraft, just changing them, from route to route, in order to reduce charges thus costs?

Not as easy as it sounds in practice! Need to have the appropriate Flight Manual Amendments in place (Can be expensive) and operational procedures to ensure the appropriate RTOW is used for each aircraft / route combination and the necessary crew information. But can in some cases save a few $$.

Marlboro_2002,
Yep, I know a major european carrier that uses lower MTOW data for its widebody flights to Israel - this reportedly saves a lot of landing fees / handling charges.
