China Airlines has become the latest operator of the Airbus A321neo, following the delivery of its first aircraft of the type, on lease from Air Lease Corporation (ALC).
The aircraft operated with a blend of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). SAF provides a reduction of up to 80% in carbon emissions over its lifecycle, compared to traditional jet fuel.
