The 789 will open up additional medium-heavy markets in Asia. They can use the 787-10 for very heavy routes (IAH-LON, EWR-TLV).
Where will it hub--this new fan of flights to Asia? Will EWR have enough space? I love the strategy, I just wonder from which location it will be implemented. It has to be EWR.
