WSJ: Boeing gets support for NMA; new medium-range airplane

Previously called "MoM" middle of the market aircraft it seems Boeing will at one point launch a NMA, slightly larger than the 757.

Boeing has said it thinks there is sufficient demand for such an aircraft, which would fit between its single-aisle 737 and long-range 787 Dreamliner.

Boeing has said it is considering a new jet that would have 200 to 250 seats and be capable of flying around 4,800 nautical miles.

The company has been polling more than 30 possible customers, including airlines that have traditionally shied away from expensive twin-aisle aircraft like low-cost carriers.

The Bank of America analysts think a new plane would be a small, oval-shaped, twin-aisle aircraft with seven economy-class seats across the cabin to quickly board and deplane passengers.
