There’s all sorts of wide bodies at LGA.

I’ve never once seen one.

Um, sure you can. L1011’s used to go into lga.

Not saying it can’t be done but where would you park one these days? A 321 is the biggest thing I’ve seen there besides government and trumps 757 on the private ramp

What? You’ve never walked in the terminals?

Delta use to fly 767’s into LGA, including the 764 I think.

CS300/A220-300 makes the most sense - although at the right negotiated price.... It has to be a great deal. That said, if both JB and David Neelmen’s Moxy both believe the CS300 combines the best fuel efficiency and range flexibility to order large numbers of aircraft (including a full E190 fleet swap-out at JB), then Spirit should feel comfortable with it. Plus, the order backlog on the CSeries is not too long and the Mobile production facility is being built. I imagine we will hear about an order during the next big Air Show this summer.

It is possible that Spirit could pick up some used A319/20s on the market given some recent failed airlines using the type in Europe - although I am sure Allegiant and other LCCs are scrambling for those airframes too. Maybe Spirit could pick up some of Norwegian’s existing A320/21 NEO order since it is bleeding cash.

TWA use to fly the L-1011 in and out of LGA and ATA flew the 757-300 in and out of there.

I heard this last year “spirit will announce an aircraft order at the air show.” I’m not holding my breath.

Will we get the international override for Mars, or will that be op spec'd into a domestic route?
