Not that I'm aware. but the widebody A330 and/or A340 series should make the jumps. And they are littlemore-littleless enlarged 319s.
Add about 3700 more gallons to the center tank and a few hundred more pounds of internal strengthening and you've got a 319LR, supposed to look the same outside as the standard 319-100 with the CFM high efficiency engines. The narrow body A319 jet will get a bit better fuel mileage, less profile drag for the win.
I'm onit, and Bob's not my uncle.

I have no trouble taking off from Juneau with a full load of fuel now the 319LR is been adjusted.
But it's gotta be using rnwy 26, the mountains to the East come up awfully quick.

Good that you wrote it in time, I spent last week to use the Antonov as guinea pig and was about to try and implement another fuel system to a 707. So, are you doing that one too?

No need for a new fuel system
The tank was incorrect in JSB, and I modified the existing one to fix. Should be pushed soon.

Well, that works for now. The problem is, the engines are hanging directly on the main tanks while, according to the sketch, the center tank also should feed directly into the engines, funny thing, in each one individually, depending on the vent switches. Which I circumvented by using invisible feeder tanks (in my test build in the Antonov).
However, if I can fly the 707 at the Tour, I am happy enough and don't need to mess with your stuff and I got in the process a nice new toy in my Ruslans. Sounds like a win-win-win-win situation to me. Do, I leave the tinker-fingers off the 707 and just fly it

The Falcon tri-engine bizjet supposedly has a long-range version. There's also the..( dare I say it..) Airbus A319CJ corporate jet which has the same range as the A319LR
I know you so love the Airbus company.
