Gates and wingspans
Just curious if anyone knows how the wingspans of the 787-10 and A350-1000 will fit into our current gates. Im assuming the wingspans are longer than the 777-200.
Im specifically curious about how we are going to be getting our new wide body fleets wedged into EWR and SFO. Less gates? Can the lines be re-drawn, or are they maxed out? Or will EWR and SFO be where the 777 goes to die.

.So the 350 is 213ft guess the extra 14ft on the 777 won't be to much of a problem.
Thanks

Well.....a -400 AND a 777 are down for months and may be scrapped. Other than that, it's all good! 777 wing went through the nose of the -400 and damaged the pressure bulkhead, the 777 needs 20ft of new wing, both are AOG for a long while IF they are determined to still be of value. Rumor was the -400 may be beer cans.
