Perhaps they're cheaper.
i actually think it’s because they’re more cost effective on 6-8 hour routes like east coast USA, Israel and the UAE. The range of the 789 isn’t needed on these shorter routes. I think the 6 options for expansion show they see potential to grow at MAN, on the other hand it could easily cover replacing the TCX long haul fleet should they get the long haul part of the business they have bid for
