Analysis
I’m excited to see passenger European flights return to Indianapolis. The A321XLR economics make such interesting routes possible like from Dublin to Nashville & Indianapolis. Though it does present a trade off, take a direct flight to Europe or connect in Chicago take a larger plane to Europe. I’m curious to know which would you prefer a narrowbody or a twin aisle for an Atlantic crossing?
