That is a serious zero-dark-thirty arrival / departure in Abuja. I find it hard to believe it'll be popular.

It's all about the connections into CMN. With an arrival of 10:30 AM this allows for ideal connections to the UK/major EU points and the Americas.

wow E190 CMN - VIE seems pretty long for E190, as they also have weight issues.

It's not really, distance between CMN-VIE is just 1400 nmi whilst the E190 range lies somewhere around the 2,200 nmi. RAM even flies their E190's to CPH which stands at 1,580 nm (2,927 km).

Re: Bahrain, Egypt and KSA closed their airspace for Qatar

Did you even bother to look on the aircraft info on the pic I posted or you just go by your confidently lack of knowledge? On the pic it clearly says B747-8BBJ.

Both Qatar and Royal Air Maroc are alredy at YUL.
