You can only park twelve 787's at the international terminal, and that means no other planes at all. Obviously all 16 planes wouldn't be on gates at the same time but all of those planes here daily would be a logistical nightmare. They'd also need more hangar space among other things.

I hope they do a few in Vancouver for places you can't get to from here (Eg, Australia, Singapore). E=NG so forget that. And I wouldn't be surprised if their "unwritten but adhered to" understanding with Air Canada doesn't permit them to fly 787s out of YYZ. Maybe one YYZ to London or something like that if they could get slots on the other end.
I feel like two planes per spot (one afternoon/one evening) would be pretty doable from a gate perspective, do you agree? Maybe even have a morning flight to a sun destination in the winter.
I think the airport would have enough land for them to build another hangar if they wanted to/were willing to pay for it?
