With its long range, the A321XLR enables a host of new direct routes, offering natural growth opportunities to our customers and the travelling public\u201d, says Christian Scherer, CEO of the Commercial Aircraft business of Airbus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The A321XLR sits side by side with widebodies in an airline\u2019s fleet. It introduces the flexibility to add capacity, to open new routes, or even to continue operating existing ones when demand is variable. All while burning 30% less fuel per seat than previous generation competitor aircraft, and at roughly half the trip cost of modern widebodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The A321XLR\u2019s new Airspace cabin will provide passengers long haul comfort in all classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first A321XLR completed its maiden flight in June 2022. This was followed by an extensive test programme involving three test aircraft. So far more than 500 Airbus A321XLRs have been ordered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first airline to operate the new aircraft will be Spain&#8217;s Iberia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
