Now that's one BFA!!!



If you throw 800+ passengers into an airport in a single shot, it will REALLY cause some problems in today's facilites. To keep passenger flow comparable to what it is today, luggage handling, passenger service and conveyence on the ground will need to be beefed up... Security screening will have to be doubled... going to need massive pax holding areas and increased departure gate facilities..

Reckon they discussed these "details" with airlines and airports... Seems the airports would have to start making aiprort improvements YESTERDAY to accomodate the airplane, which will likely be certified in 18-24 months.... But those improvements depend on who's gonna buy it and where are they gonna fly it? Things that make you go hmm...

Cheers!

No worse than a few 747s arriving at the same time which, happens all the time at big airports.
