However, like IADDCAflyer said it’ll be an operational nightmare as the airport wasn’t built with large aircrafts in mind not to mention there aren’t the appropriate ground resources to support this kind of aircraft. I do not think Gate 41 or 45 will work as portion of the jetway is fixed into the ground not to mention is the jetway even capable of moving high enough to connect with the doors?
787’s wingspan is much larger than the 767 as well.
We're talking one gate on the end of the terminal- two arrivals/departures a day. No big deal... Think of how cool it would be
