Probably not. It looks like the A321NEO will still come up short on either payload or range, from the last figures I read.

It is somewhat surprising that neither Airbus or Boeing have developed a proper replacement for the 757 lineage. The 787 & A350 are too big.

A30X is similar in size to A320. The 737RS was similar in size to 737…

If 321 and 737-900 stops at ~185 PAX (2-class) and 787 starts at ~295 (A350 starts at ~280 for the overly shortened version which few are interested in)… that is a pretty massive gap they are leaving for COMAC or Irkut to fill. Bombardier probably have their (financial) hands full with CSeries at the minute, so they can’t look at filling it.

Embraer? Seem content with the E-jets.

If I was in charge of one of the “little-4”, I’d be spending a lot of time looking at it.

I assume in time these will become A321NEOs…?

Good stuff 🙂
