The Airbus A320 series is a hard act to beat for a short haul 200+ seater
'local bus service' type aircraft. What advantage does the 787 have over
it?


Apples and oranges. The A320 is a single-aisle transport whereas the
787 is a widebody. Higher capacity and longer range. 787 isn't meant
for short segments. 737 is a much better comparison as it competes
directly with the A320 series (and quite well too, judging by Boeing's
backlog)
