    I am quite surprised why BA used B787-9 to carry 40 passengers (players & supprt staff) to HRI. Any reason why smaller B787-8 not used instead of B787-9.
    According to planespotters.net, out of 12 787-8s only 7 are in service while 17 out of 18 -9s are in service. Im sure it’s much more cheaper to use a -9 instead of reactivating a stored -8 in case all their in service -8s are busy.

                  That Embraer belongs to Comlux KZ (Reg: UP-EM008). Guess it was parked in HRI for few days. Yesterday flew to DDD and back to HRI and left to India.

                            I think it's a passenger flight. I can only see departure information in Amsterdam airport webiste but not the arrival information. Does this mean this is a repatriation flight?
