The initial date before the delays was 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Airbus is currently in the final phase of completing the certification for the A321XLR and is now ensuring it is ready for delivery by Q3. The reason for this further delay has been put down to certification process issues, which CEO Guillaume Faury admitted \u201cwere taking a bit longer than expected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2024\/02\/airbus-works-on-next-generation-jets.html\">Airbus works on next generation jets<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the potential for a 200 nautical mile (370km) reduction in range caused by the design adjustments that were required to the rear fuel tank, Faury suggested that these issues had now been resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are satisfied with the production of the program,\u201d he said, adding that its range met \u201cexpectations of what we had when we launched the program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The A321XLR is designed to meet airline requirements for a narrowbody aircraft offering increased range and payload, the A321XLR will deliver a range of up to 4,700nm (8.700km), with 30% lower fuel consumption compared to previous next-generation aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Airbus has confirmed that to date it has received 550 A321XLR aircraft orders from 27 airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Major customers include Aer Lingus, Air Canada, American Airlines, Iberia, Qantas, United Airlines, Air Arabia, AirAsia X, flynas, IndiGo and JetBlue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With information from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aerotime.aero\/articles\/airbus-a321xlr-delayed-service-entry\/amp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener
