New plane with a new volume of passengers matrix. This is an airline now flying Providence RI/Bergen Norway on 737s. Right now, they only have 787s with range past New England. That is too big but the A321lr isn tjat much bigger than the new 737maxs. It's why Boeing will be announcing a brand new plane program very soon. 200 to 220 passengers with 5000nm range twin aisle but with the economics of new single aisle......supposedly. If these planes perform as promises, thousands of new point to point routes will be possible.
You can take one A321LR and fly it to two to three cities on week that similar in range allowing you pretty much the same arrival time at the European station.
Sorry, I am confusing the convo by using volume over demand.
There is not the demand for this route. Not enough people will want to use the service from EDI to MEM
