Potential Ultra Long Routes 2015
Hi there,
I know we've sort of done this before but with the increasing 787-8's and the 787-9's due next year I wondered if BA would launch some 7,000 mile plus routes. SCL has been mooted (at around 7,300) but so has HNL (also 7,300) and CGK/Jakarta (guess what, around 7,300).
Any thoughts - are these 15 hour sectors a pipe dream or do we think they will happen? Also anywhere else that the 787 could get to that would be viable? I seem to recall the 787 can get up to around 8,000 miles but cannot see anywhere from LHR that BA would fly to for that distance that would be viable and the 3 above seem the obvious super long distance choices.....
FD.
