Is the A320 out of the realms of possibility? We know the steep approach software can be put in because they did it on the A318. The A320 is significantly shorter than the E295 and it has proven takeoff performance out of Santos Dumont's shorter runway. Would the slightly longer wingspan cause issues?
Who could operate A320's into LCY?
LCY would become a gold mine if A320’s get in, opens the door to most airlines - depends on the cost of the modification and also any range / payload penalties. The E295 can supposedly operate all the routes the E190 currently does with a full payload !
