 Is there one?

 

 I'm trying to go International, and the highest demand on a route is around 200 Y seats per day, at around 4,000 miles. So I'm looking for something with about 2-250 seats and around 7,000mile range.

Just do less daily flights. With a 777, you can do about 3 weekly flights with that. Or just configure the aircraft to smaller. It is really easy.

777s are too big for most markets.
And OP: R u mad? The 757 . Pre 1956 - nothing. 1956 - 1983: Boeing 707 (used market in the end). 1983 - 2015: Boeing 757. 2015 - : Airbus A321NEO. Alternatively you could go A300/10 or A330-200 if it's a bigger market.

757 for 7000 miles?

[Hake.]

757 for 7000 miles?

I took at that the OP only needs it to do 4000 miles, that 7000 miles is only a guideline. If it is, the A330-200 with 24 | 243 cabin could work.

He asked 7000

[sobochris]

767-200ER?

[Superman]

20/232 for the A332

He's asking for a 7000-mi-range plane, with a route that only needs 4000. The A330-200 is well capable of 6000.

Il-96-300 is another option, it can go up to around 7,250 miles.

Isn't this the kind of plane Airlines in real life wanted so badly but nobody producing it?

[bAnderson]

I would say that the earliest form you could use is a 707/DC-8 type plane ( ). In mid times (1975 - 1995) a 767-200ER / A300 / 777 would work well. In the now times a 787 / A350. The 747SP works for a while. Good range and is shorter, so less capacity than most 747 aircraft.

[lvan]

707, 757, 762ER, 74SP, and A332 are all good options to take a look at.

[TNT88]

A330-200 and A340-200 are the only one that can do the job right.

[TJ/TeeJay]

A319LR for a small market and a maximum range of 4800/6400. 

Other options are 762ER's , A330-200s, B788s, A321NEO (not in game yet)

If he was in a later world, the 787-8 is perfect for what he's looking for, and for this class (connecting secondary airports longhaul)

 Thanks for the responses, to clarify I'm looking for something in the range between 4 and 7,000 miles.

 

 

And OP: R u mad? The 757

 

Oh, don't get me started, Boeing did not endear themselves to me with what the did with the 717. Then, they only made it worse by killing off the 757.

 

 No other plane did what the 757 did, yes, the A320/321 and 737-900/900ER had similar to same passenger capacity, but none of them had the ridiculous power-to-weight ratio.

 

 Thanks for clarifying that I can use the big birds as well.
