The whole point will be if they can start and grow such long distant routes, gradually...
No sensible airline - especially someone as small as Aegean - is going to introduce a new fleet sub-type of four aircraft just to fly 1x/2x weekly to experiment whilst putting the rest on existing routes that is perfectly serviceable with the existing A320/A321s.
Furthermore Aegean's also not stupid enough to reduce pax counts on routes like LHR when the pre-existing product suffices.
It's one thing for Aegean to test new routes with their pre-existing fleet which would incur little to zero capex. It's another thing to introduce a small fleet sub-type to do that.
