Not LBA related but Edinburgh now gets Emirates A350's. They've also had an Edelweiss A350 today as well. Wonder when/if LBA will get it's first A350? They seem to have good short field performance.

That said Edinburgh’s runway (2560 metres) is longer than LBA’s ((2250 metres) The published take-off field length for the A359 900 is 2800 metres (with a MTOW of 280000 kg, at sea level, standard day). So on paper both airports are unable to operate the aircraft at full weight, although there are so many variables to an aircraft’s weight including configuration, freight carried, fuel carried and the like) it’s difficult to tell whether LBA could take an A350 900 in normal service.

I asked Airbus the question directly and they said the A350 can operate from Leeds but not to its full range. So with a range of 15000km reduced by half it would take you to the middle East or north America.

I would imagine any widebody would have to use November to enter/vacate in future as Delta is likely to be Cat C only after new stands are finished. Might make for some tight turns
