But a 747 or similarly large aircraft carries 400+ passengers and is not economically viable at 180-200 passengers like the A321. Smaller but longer range aircraft (like the 787) have enabled airlines to fly direct on long routes with lower demand (instead of having to make a stop, usually at the airline's hub eg. Dubai for Emirates)
