Re: LH Group allocates 5 A350’s to LX for A343 replacement
The 787 at LX will never happen, period. In the end, it will be more A359 for the A333 (earliest from 2030 I'd say). What remains to be seen is what will happen to the B77W. Either LH, OS get them or they sell them and get A35K instead, or just simply do nothing and run 77W and A359 alongside. Perso...

Average age of their B777 fleet is 20 years and 23 for the B767s. I still hope that some B787s will be moved t...

Probably Ice Shedding. With increasing thrust the fan blades get deformed/bent and any ice which may have built up will shed away and prevent damage before actually setting takeoff thrust.
