Is that because the domestic stands are occupied ready for early morning domestic departures the next day? Or the arriving aircraft is scheduled to operate a late EU departure...?
767s can't use many gates at T5A, they can do gates 8 and 6 I think, so if it can't go there, or there are other plans (given gate 8 switches to non CTA at times) then inbound 767s on domestics do have a higher bus risk.
