Jazeera Airways wants to fly you London-Bangkok in short-haul jets

After a surge in narrow-body plane flights across the Atlantic, Jazeera Airways aims to push the model to its limits with services between Europe and Southeast Asia using the single-aisle jets. Jazeera wants to acquire Airbus long-range A321neo LR narrow-body planes to open up the prospect of a 15-hour trip from London to Thailand with a stop at its Kuwait hub, and is even considering the XLR version to allow flights as far as Hong Kong and Guangzhou, China. That would challenge services provided by Emirates via Dubai using planes 4 times the size, while testing passenger tolerance for inter-continental travel on single-aisle aircraft. Jazeera is already adding a route from Kuwait to London that will be the world’s longest with an A320neo. <br/>
