Okay, thanks a lot, will the XT be certified for LCY operations ?
They do plan LCY in their design.

XT stands for Extra Thrust. It has the same MTOW and range (131 300 pounds and 2200 nm) as baseline C130, but it shares the trust of C130ER, so it has a shorter takeoff distance.

Bombardier launched Cseries, with 60 frames sold to Lufthansa.
The specifications have been recently changed. The wingspan is 35,1 m now. There are 5 models: C110, C110ER, C130, C130XT and C130ER.
What does XT stand for ?
I guess the ER versions will be popular in the US and Canada as this might mean transcontinental range while LH as a 737 replacement likely will choose a lighter weight version for European and domestic flights.
Congratulations both Bombardier and LH. Always nice to see another airplane in the sky.
