2 questions for the pros ;) :

How many liters of water necessary for the toilets and for pax minimum comfort for such a flight?

How many liters of bottled water, sodas, juices, wine, alcohol were on board? What's their total cost vs the cost of returning to London and cancelling the flight?

Disclaimer : I'm not a pro in sh!t business :lol:

From the respective APMs, the so called "Potable Water" capacities :

A332/3/8/9 : 700 litres, 1050 L option.
A388 : 1700 L (six-tank std), 1998 L (7-tank option), 2267 L (8-tank option).
Originally EK took more due to the showers but I think they reduced the total uplift.

Potable water is used for the galleys and toilets (wash basin).
Only a very small amount of water is used to flush the toilet, if any, and I think it is then mixed with the “blue juice”, the chemical precharge. (36-54 L for the A330, on the A388 each of the 4 tanks is precharged with 35 L).
Toilets are flushed by vacuum and the non-stick coating of the bowl requires a very small amount of liquid (0.2 L ?) to flush ... what needs to.

On short haul the uplift will be limited, e.g. 100 L, to avoid carrying deadweight but I doubt long haul will take less than full tanks.
You can check the amount in water and waste tanks on the Panel at the forward FA station.

A pic I took on an Air Asia between KL and PKU. At first the FA did not oppose my request but they kept coming back during the flight asking the why's and whatfor's. :D

It's normal that this flight comes to Brussels: it's the Atl&anta-Brussels flight. What is not normal is that it was diverted to Boston before continuing to Brussels. Medical perhaps? If you look at the playback on FR24 you see that it flew quite normally until very close to Boston before turning abruptly and descending fast to Logan airport.

On 31st October 2017, Kenya Airways KQ-117 AMS-NBO Amsterdam-Nairobi = a nice 787-8 (5Y-KZA) suffered a cracked windshield shortly after taking off from AMS Schiphol. Hence: return to AMS.

The two trouble makers were Bulgarian. They were arrested and taken into custody by the police of Alicante, although one of them tried to get back on board. Plane to continue soon to TFS.

The same aircraft is enroute again to Brussels, after a short stop (60-90 min) after the landing-back at Cairo.
