Don't want to seem crass, but 90 pax, pretty light load but then again, kt is AI!
That was my main concern as well. Followed by "why couldn't the plane continue to London with 3 out of 4 engines"?
Only two engines on that series of planes. Anyone know if there was weather issues at LHR? I know there was reported wind issues at AMS.
Thanks! What was I thinking! Confused the 787-8 with the 747-8...
That's why I like 4 engines
Never have crossed an Ocean on two engines. Hope WE never have to!
Half as many things to go wrong. Many crossings in 767.
