Re: Air Transat A330 replacement

I would absolutely love for an A330NEO order, as there are already 2 operators of 787s in Canada. But, if it truly can't fit in their hangar, it sounds like the 787 is the path of least resistance. I can't ever recall a fleet decision being based upon the available width in one's hangar ? Perhaps A...

Re: Why doesn't Boeing add extenders off of the lead and trail edge to the 787-10 wing to increase efficiency

One of the big differences between the 351 and 781 is that the 351 was designed to be a bigger, heavier, longer range version of the 359. Incredible performance but at a cost for shorter flights. The 781 is a simple stretch of the 789 that very efficiently carries more folks, but shorter distances....
