Primera A321noe LR
So it looks like they will have a 198 seat cabin, 16 premium and 182 economy. With either of the two new engine choices, LR tanks and 198 pax configuration I think airlines might actually be able to get 4000nm out of the aircraft and still get all bags on board, possibly not in containers though.
For a long time (not sure if it is the case anymore) the longest 757W route operated was United's NY - Berlin service and this could not be operated with max payload.
iirc my memory serves me that the MTOW for a 757-200 etops was 115 tonnes
That could very well be, but I suspect a lot of that is extra fuel, when compared to the 321LR, that's no longer required to fly the same distance?
Anyway, lots of guessing at this stage as I don't have any official airbus documentation or performance information for the 321neo LR. It will be interesting to see how it will perform though, once in service. I guess Norwegian is also planning on similar routes for their 321neo LRs?
