Touchdown! Greaser!
Hi all,
I'm wondering why a 787 would need a technical stop 1/2 hour from the destination on a flight that's only about 6 hours total?
Qatar Airways flight 1387, OTHH-HUEN-HRYR-OTHH.
I was thinking maybe there wasn't any fuel at HRYR, but ForeFlight at least says there's Jet-A1 there and I would be surprised if Kigali International had no fuel...
So why do they have a 1:10 "technical stop" listed? My understanding is that a tech stop is just for servicing the airplane, and nobody deplanes or goes through Customs?
