In the configuration of seats they run these on, yes. There are a few US routes they run with these aircraft. It's all premium seating.

Oil route from stavanger to houston. Seats are not cheap.

Ah I see, I did not know the 737's had this range, wow!

The seating configuration is very minimum compared to commercial 737 flights therefore the aircraft is lighter and has longer range. British Airways does this with their 32 seat Club World (Business) class A318 from London City to JFK

And I thought economy aviation was bad for the environment We have airlines like these in Canada, only they fly Beavers and Cubs.... and the seats aren't very comfy. But the lower seating numbers, yup, like that.
