@AvWeekScho Virgin Australia is returning to long-haul with a Cairns-Haneda flight, launching in June using a 737-8. It has been looking for some time at plans to use narrowbodies on this route, partly to allow it to keep its Haneda slot. Flight time 7 hr 45 min.

@ByERussell United Airlines expects to fly 8.3 million people over the 2.5-week Christmas/New Years holiday period. That’s more than during Thanksgiving, or an average of  440,000 passengers a day. $UAL.

@ByERussell Boeing has raised the maximum take-off weight of the 787-10 to 572,000lbs that allows it to fly, for example, Chicago-Tokyo nonstop with a full load year round. This factored into United’s massive 787 order  reports @jonostrower.

@ByERussell Bullish with optimism on the recovery and its own prospects, United Airlines ordered at least 200 Boeing 787s and 737 Maxes.

@ByERussell Hence United’s deal for the 787. Too much airplane or not, the economics of lots and lots of 787s was just too compelling for the airline to turn down.
