At the extreme margin of the airplane’s range, it makes a difference. You’re basically trading seats for fuel, at that point, so every little bit counts, and 300nm is material both in terms of distance and in its effect on P&L.

The 789 is an incredibly capable airplane, but it has its economical limits.
