Is there an New Mid-range Aircraft gap? [feedly]

The NMA (New Mid-range Aircraft), or, as it's called more and more, the Boeing 797, is hot. The potential buyers at the recent ISTAT meeting in San Diego urged Boeing to take the decision and get it done.

At the same meeting Airbus responds, "Any NMA gap is covered. Our A321neo and A330-800 is available and and no new aircraft is needed."
