Hi all

Yesterday while i was a work i was looking at 2 B777-300ER (emirates and pia) both had the hold doors open as bothe were getting ready. I noticed that the rear hold on the EK was slighter bigger than the PK one and you could tell.

How can this be. Ididnt know they had different size hold doors? No one else does.

Hmmm...very strange. It's very costly, R&D-wise, to hv 2 diff underbelly cargohold door sizes as the structural strength of the areas around them will differ and in turn, require diff designs.

It's common for diff airlines to hv diff underbelly cargohold space on exactly the same aircraft type due to space for non-cargo use. Some airlines configure 100% of underbelly space available for cargo. Some airlines configure some % of space permanently for:
a) Fuel tanks(77L hv this option but 77W don't)
b) Crew rest+access to main cabin
c) Storage for extra dutyfree/galley items+access to main cabin
d) Emergency survival equipments(For flying routes over extremely harsh environment)
