Incidentally I’ve mentioned it on here many years ago, a friend of mine was FO for Qatar on the 777/787 (now back in Blighty as capt on the 320) he’s local to Leeds, loves the place but said he wouldn’t want to try land the dreamer in either direction.
I can confirm that Qatar will not operate the 787 into LBA due to their self imposed operating restrictions regarding runway length required.

This doesn't necessarily impact the possibility of other airlines using the 787 from LBA.

Makes you wonder how their restrictions compare to other airlines. Wouldn't you assume they are similar? It's an important question as I thought the 787 was they key to long haul ops from LBA.
 
EMA is close radius of BHX long haul. Maybe they will just put DSA customers into BHX or MAN. Be great if eventually they would try it. But agreed terminal not best condition yet.
Judging by comments regarding Qatar Airways operating criteria for their 787s I'm not sure that Tui would consider using their 787s into LBA.

My plans got altered slightly as one of the minibus companies had to cancel 3 trips and refunded me but will be getting nice discount when I rebook them.
wondering why on my "holidays" I choose to get up 2 hours earlier than when going to work. 6 trips in 6 days soon coming up with 3 more days to sort out
