Its not all that different to Heathrow to be honest with you:

LGW 08R/26L 3,316
LHR 09R/27L 3,660
LHR 09L/27R 3,901



So i cant see it having all that much in the way of problems

VN are due to start services soon and im unsure if thats going to be on an A332 or the 772, they have 10 of each in service so i would guess that we will see the 332 on the route at some stage
