Based on my recent experience, they would be sorely needed on the SYD/MEL/BNE triangle, as well.
I think a fleet of 10 is only a start, and there will be quite a few more soon enough. |

I reckon the slow turn around time make them less than ideal on the 90 min sectors. At least they only take up one Code C gate, unlike 330s.

The impact of the larger size is somewhat reduced, though, by using both the forward and rear doors for boarding.

true, but a -10 will take longer than a -8 or a -800, and there goes the schedule.

Is it really going to take a full 60min extra as opposed to a B73H to turn around though? I can foresee maybe 50min turns, but I doubt it would even take that long...

No, probably not an hour. The A330 takes 80 min. But anything more than 35 min would throw out the cadence of 1:25 flight, 35 min turn and another flight two hours after the first.

80 minute turns on domestic as well?
