Highly unlikely. Potentially possible, but unlikely. Boeing would need to review the engineering and specifically provide limitations and guidance.
FYI - it’s actually not even recommended to TAXI with an open door. Especially a cargo door. Could bend the airframe. (People do it though under tow)
There’s been a shortage of available A320/21 NEO (flyers) and CEOs over the past few years due to so many affected GTF birds being grounded. It’s like a feeding frenzy right now to scoop up any of the good NK flyers. Good GTF engines are the most in demand of the bunch, and some of the 320 NEO frames (even newer) are being cut up and the engines, APUs, and LDG gears are hitting the market. Older CEOs are mostly being parted.
Ben Freedland writes great articles about the human element that resides behind the rigid institutional walls of aviation, law enforcement and government agencies. I am honored that he wrote this article about me and my experience.

If they did this, I’m guessing many Foriegn countries would revoke traffic rights to US carriers almost immediately. Likely both cargo and pax. With fuel costs where they are, just imagine what that would do to the “Big 3” + FedEx/UPS. 🙄 the level of incompetence in the US govt is stunning - but yeah please do this. Let’s see what happens 🤷🏻♂️
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin says he is drawing up plans to stop international flights from landing in Democrat-run “sanctuary cities” just two weeks before the World Cup. https://t.co/DCkbIHWwaC
No less than 30 comments on the latest Spirit video requested a special limited edition Nomadic T-shirt commemorating this wild project. Yeah? Or nah??
@FMAmerican@JamesDeroest Exactly. You can’t just show up at a gate somewhere - weather/technical diversions aside, they need vetted and contracted handlers, gate space, ticket agents, fuel contracts, the customs port needs to have the resources, etc. it’s not so simple.
@juliettekayyem Not to mention - US airlines are granted “Traffic Rights” on many foreign routes. These are entirely dependent on bilateral agreements that can and will be revoked as retaliation - and that would destroy the US Airline industry.
