Believe or disbelieve... but these words are directly from the technical document linked above....

"This revenue earning capability, with high standards of
performance, enables both niche and prime routes to be served.
Longer routes, up to 3,000km, requiring less than 100 seats are
regularly operated with full multi-class service by the Avro RJ."

It does not matter what we think at the end of the day. The FAA, other regulators, and the insurance underwriters will be making the real call here.


You completely overlook the fact that the aircraft can't depart from a 4600 foot runway at maximum weight. You also overlook that you will have headwinds on that route. There is data posted on the link I provided showing range verses payload. Keep mind that data assumes a long enough runway for a max structural weight takeoff and no winds. It also does not include real world fuel reserves. It isn't going to make it. Here is a article on another RJ85 operator trying to stretch the range.
