As CPT cannot yet handle a A380, I believe it is likely that the 744 will be replaced by a 772 if the flight times remain roughly the same. Pre-COVID there were 2 x 744 from LHR daily and 1 x 772 from LGW 3 times a week depending on the time of year. Both legs were flown overnight meaning that the aircraft sat on the ground at CPT for 12 hours before returning to the UK. Whilst the 744's and some (if not all) of the 772's are all paid for this is less of an issue than the newer aircraft like the A351 and 788/9 that need to be earning money. Any thoughts?
