According to the coverage area The new A220-300 with the extended range is well within reach as is the 100 and now Etops certified.
IAG are buying a few , BA it seems are taking some . Would that not be better than the unpopular but still impressive A318.
Also the A220 would surley be able to carry more pax.
I also read the range of the Embraer E2 E190/195 Are of similar range , I think they have a slight edge of the Airbus .
But the A220 already operates into LCY and is described as the largest aircraft yet to operate there .
Is this in the realm of possibility?.
