Digressing slightly, but what are the freight benefits, which Emirates lost with the 380 over the 777? Looks to be plenty of freight in the picture.

Great to see that BHX has a fully operational A350 Airbridge.

Btw I am starting to like the A350, Was watching some plane videos on Youtube last night as you do trying to do something not Chrismas related and was watching a video of plane spotting at Madrid Barajas MAD.

The Iberia A350 was quite simply

These are from Wiki so the actual numbers may vary slightly.

B788 - 28 LD3 or 9 pallets
A359 - 36 LD3 or 11 pallets

According to airliner net. the A380 can take up to the following.

13 pallets or 38 LD3.

However because of the high passenger capacity the majority of this capacity is taken up by luggage requirements making the A380 a poor performer in freight terms.

Thanks to all for the info. Puts a different slant on money making, or otherwise, routes and aircraft.

"Thanks to all for the info. Puts a different slant on money making, or otherwise, routes and aircraft."
I was discussing the above because I don`t know if it is pax or cargo that is doing well and I am always interested in what goes in to BHX and LBA and LPL etc so perhaps you need to widen your perspective 58 terminus as the world isn`t just BHX
I often seen things going into BHX ie Air India

As Million has said in an later post you have to take his response in the context of the post he was specifically replying to. I must admit that I had to read it again to understand the reason for the Manchester reference, but it's a fair comment.

It's fine referencing other airports in some threads, it just feels like certain posters try to mention a certain airport in every post they make in the BHX threads!

 

[mullion]

No at all will mention BHX if appropriate i Manchester

Maybe you don't intend it Mullion but your interest in other airports to me at least come across as little more than commenting on how much better Manchester is doing..Fair play to them
You are right the world isnt BHX or indeed aviation which is why my limited interest is my local airport.

 

[mullion]

You can have your own opion but that is not the way it is as my other airports of interest are NQY and EXT neither of which are not going to blow the world apart but are very interesting also Manchester can only dream of the cargo charters BHX gets

How were the loads on the A350? Enough to warrant an upgrade? Or unfair to judge seeing as it was Christmas?

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw an upgrade at some point next year

Loads were excellent, I think we will see an upgrade soon
