And WAYYYYY better! With this Embraer aircraft, you can open the cargo door without fearing that you damage the airplane! This one is also much more efficient! The 195 will be the best of all. What a silly difference between all the types.
The 195 still seats 10 or 15 seats or so less than the a318.

At what side of the globe is this route operated; via canada or via europe?
14700 km leaves 1000 km more on the range of the aircraft, but probably because of the wind, this is the limit.

The A340 has a range comparable to the 747-400. Maybe slightly less.

Look, I think an airliner can fly in a clean configuration (half way, so fuel weight is ok) on 8000 feet with the remaining engine nearly full power. That’s great, because there is are airports in airports in iceland, greenland and canada.
Well, more than half of the transatlantic routes is operated by 767’s!

It actually looks like that Austrian A330 is taking off? Looks like near the end of the runway, he’s rotated and the winds caguth him, no?

It’s taking off at the end of the touchdown lines. There is still a lot of runway ahead but it looks like it’s the end because the runway is slightly running downhill.

Rubbish! That forum is total crap! It’s so busy that sometimes topics are answered ten times with the same answer! Edniburgh is not going to close; gimme one reason! If all the regional airports in Belgium survive!:rolleyes:
