I’m gonna repeat myself for the millionth time, The majority of 787-8 flying by all carriers is under 10hrs in stage length, the planes carry almost exactly the same number of passengers. They can fly those missions and the <11hr mission efficiently as well.
Forrest = all 787 ops
Trees = SFO-SIN, SFO-TLV, SFO-SYD, LAX-SIN
So you guys think Boeing should build a 767-300 NG that is more efficient and has a longer range?
THEY ALREADY DO!!! ITS CALLED A 787-800!
A 787-800 is going to beat a 767-300 on fuel cost on a 2 hour leg or an 11 hour leg and everything in between.
