Even then - I doubt it pencils out even close as a viable commercial route. I could see a European LCC perhaps giving it a shot someday if they have a plane with the range.
Condor would probably try it if they had an aircraft with the range. But they don't, and the route would be at the limit of the A330-900s they have on order. They'd have to limit passengers and/or freight.
