juliet - with wing fuel it's an awesome trans Atlantic bird (8-9 hr). With center tank fuel it's an awesome 15 hr(+/-) bird.
Didn't realise it came without a centre tank! Non ER models?

200ER has a max of 137,500kg. Haven't seen it filled past about 105,000kg and thats doing 15hr flights. To be honest I wonder why they bothered making the tank so bloody big.

All models have center tanks. For medium length long haul flights it's mostly just wing fuel. Longer flights need some, or more, center tank fuel.

Some of our flights fill the tanks. 15-16 hr flights.
