Hi,
not gonna enter here in an endless discussion about wether its fair or not, how it works, etc. It's only about an inconsistency I noticed.
SIN-ITM: 2667nm // ~820 demand // too small with the A32x
SIN-GMP: 2511nm // ~1150 demand // not too small with the A32x
The year is 1993 (GW#4).
So basically, a mere 6% range increase paired with a 40% decrease in demand fires the "too small"?
Or the other way around: why a quite thicker route almost the same distance doesn't fire "too small"?
The relation/proportionality between the two seems a bit off.
Funny story. Neither route currently exists nonstop IRL, so no direct comparison exists.
Closest examples (SIN-NRT, SIN-ICN) seem to be using widebodies even though these segments hang on the edge of acceptable in a narrowbody.

Because KIX and ICN opened.
SIN-KIX is currently flown with:
- 1xA380
- 2x787
- more with stops (787, A320, etc.)
SIN-ICN is currently flown with:
- 2x777 (direct)
- 5xA330 (direct)
- more with stops (A350, etc.)
I'm kind of on your side when it comes to this one. Distance and demand numbers should be less of a mystery when it comes to determining the right aircraft to use for planning before you get to the route creation screen..makes it easier to fleet plan..
Perhaps a guide..
