I don't think with TUIs case it's the runway as the main factor. DSA is their primary Yorkshire base.
I also note they have announced another long haul route from Doncaster to Cancun !
If only we had a runway of sufficient length !
Yes. See my post #821 above earlier today.The Dreamliner should be able to reach Cancun from Leeds. Doesn't Thomson offer Cancun from Bristol airport?
TUI has used a B787-9 standing in for a 787-8 to Cape Verde from BRS at least once this year - not as far as Cancun or Sanford or Punta Cana of course which are the other long haul routes this summer. I think the TODA at BRS is something like 1978 metres on one runway and 1938 metres on the reciprocal and, like LBA, it's up on a mountain top.2,011 m is Bristol’s length and LBA’s is 2,250 so it could take a 787 if Bristol can!
We do!! We can handle the 787. Not sure why there is consistently a view that we cannot handle these flights. We don't have them because TUi opt to fly them from DSA, which is an all year round base. It is nothing to do with the length of the LBA runway.I also note they have announced another long haul route from Doncaster to Cancun !

I walked passed her when boarding my flight yesterday morning....she looked really nice in the morning mist and those double winglets looked great.
Off topic slightly, but are scimtars standard for the 737 Max?
