Greetings, apologies if this is off-topic, but I am delighted to have been invited to a discussion boards where reasonable people seem to reside.
It's refreshing to read sensible comments and not those by people with an obvious axe to grind or have a irrational sense of reality.

MNL-MAL flight time should probably take the same time as MNL-YVR, if they do decide on the mono class A330s, an AUH fuel stop may make the MAL-MNL flight doable especially if the OFWs repatriated have a bit of cargo with them.
MAL-MNL non stop would need around a 45,000lb weight penalty

Since there are over 800 OFWs to be repatriated, it will be interesting to see if PR will allot 2 ac for a one time mission or have 2 or more flights over a number of days
