And before that, DC-8s. Yes, I'm well aware of the route and have flown it many times. I'm certainly wasn't suggesting the route's not tenable. I simply neant that there's no guarantee we'll see the 321XLR on it.

They had YHZ-FRA in their plans before the pandemic. Frankfurt is a major hub for Air Canada's partner Lufthansa. Using an A321XLR on this route makes sense.

Again, I didn't say the 321XLR wouldn't make sense on that route. But I am very skeptical about the feasibility of the route itself. I would be
very surprised if it happens in the near term.
Look, all the investor communication was saying is the the 321LXR is capable of those routes. Seemed like half of the publication was about showing off the shiny new airplane they've ordered. They were simply hyping the aircraft's range. Nowhere does it say or even suggest that it
will fly those routes (though I'll concede it's a possibility on YHZ-LHR).
I think you're reading too much into the publication.
