Yes, apologies for that self-edit. Sometimes you have to write something doing to see you're wrong

I think it's possible with the existing a/c. Both ALA and FNA are getting upgraded to A332 this summer, so with a bit of tinkering to the schedule ALQ and ROB become simple one-stop additions to those existing sectors. If it means the a/c is in the air more and on the ground less it sounds a sensible use of BD's very limited long range resources.

Re-jigging LHR-GYD-FRU (I think) would just about bring the sectors back within the range of the A321....

More A321 due in 2012, so I wouldn't be surprised to see some more two-sector routes like the existing LHR-AMM-ADD and LHR-BEY-KRT.

If these routes are indeed coming, then the expanded BD Asia, Middle East and Africa route map would look something like this:
