I think the clarification is that the DUB runway can't accomodate a FULLY LOADED A340/B777. They can operate fine from DUB but are a little restricted in their range/payload.
The planned 2nd runway would be longer than the current one thus allowing DUB to handle all aircraft up to the A380 at max ability.
Is it a taxiway or stand/jetway restriction on the A380? I thought they had to design it with a wingspan under 80M(?) to allow it to operate to current airport standards. I was under the impression that the B747 when launched forced many airports to upgrade to handle it and since then Boeing/Airbus have followed certain size restrictions.
Thanks but if DUB can't handle a fully loaded 777, how did it cope with EI's 747's up until 1995?

Before the current runway was built, Atlantic flights had to stop at SNN anyway, so the aircraft never departed at anything approaching MTOW. Once 10/28 was constructed, the 747s (series 100s, of course) were capable of doing US East Coast destinations non-stop. However I think they would have had difficulty carrying an economic payload from DUB to more distant destinations.0 -

I think the SQ cargo B747 was a daily visitor up until 5-6 years ago. The AF cargo is usually a B747 but sometimes is a B777.Some nice pics there
is that just a rare occurrence or are Singapore Airlines 747s a common sight at DUB?
There have also been a few diversions of A340 into DUB over the last 1-2 years. I personally photoed an LH A340 about a year ago.
Well the EI B747-100s were quite different to modern B747-400s. I assume the -400s have a far max greater take off weight. (MTOW)Thanks but if DUB can't handle a fully loaded 777, how did it cope with EI's 747's up until 1995?
The B777 limitations don't mean they can't operate just that they are restricted. Less just assume the fictional B777 by 'IrishAer' has 350 seats in 3 classes with a max range of 10,000 miles. Due to the less than optimal runway at DUB the airline has to choose to operate a route that is 7000 miles with 350 pax or 10000 with a max of 250 pax. It can't use BOTH max capacity or max range. If it can make a profit using less than the max range then the B777 is still a viable aircraft for the airline to use from DUB.0 -

At the moment an Air France 744ERF visits Dublin but departs to Paris afterwards so wouldn't be anywhere near MTOW
Now I understand why 777's don't operate to DUB thanks
Also, are you saying SQ don't operate to DUB anymore?Our American visitors in DUB:)
Lovely pictures there. That Delta is a 767-400 right?0 -
