We are flying to Europe, there's only so many slots/gates to go around. With the aforementioned NB order in mind, at what point does it make sense to upgauge the size of the plane? How far are their other production lines backed up compared to 321s?
Are you asking why no widebodies on the order? Or what are you saying/asking?
But I believe the widebody order backlog is much smaller, especially for the A330/A330NEO. But smaller may or may not mean shorter, depending on production rates. But I think the A330/A330NEO is in fact much shorter.
