A typical A346 bar is almost 12ft long (353cm) weighing 205kgs, not going inside any of the usual single aisles that grace EDI's ramp.

Plus, a station that has one probably has it for a reason, won't want to send it away for a day (or more).

On a related note, the new E190E2 family from Brazil has a different noseleg to
'classic' E190's, will need a different bar !
