Some are weight constrained but most aren’t (unless it’s a hot day at LCY). Also take a look at winter routes to ski destinations such as CMF. It’s fairly clear that BACF are looking more to premium leisure to fill planes given that short haul business travel has not recovered. Wouldn’t be surprised to see them replace the E190s with A220s when the time comes.
