Boeing 787 traffic at Stuttgart airport 2021-02-14

Who would have foreseen one year ago that up to two handful of Boeing 787 Dreamliner might daily pay a visit to Stuttgart airport? In pre-Corona times, Delta´s Boeing 767 has been the largest regularly scheduled visitor. But now, as the available belly cargo capacity, which is carried on passenger flights and among the factors which can decide the profitability of a route, decreased, TUI and British Airways currently operate chartered cargo flights from Stuttgart using their 787 fleets. Most flights go to North America, especially to Atlanta.
