A321XLR
The great launch of the Paris Air Show was the
A321XLR, with intercontinental range, flying
up to 4,700 nautical miles (8,700 kilometers)
which represents 15% more than the A321LR,
which makes it the world’s narrow-fuselage
aircraft of longest range. This year, Airbus was
given 383 jet orders, out of which 249 were
only contracts of the A321XRL. Before begin-
ning its farewell after the end of its production
confirmed by Airbus, British Airways may add
up to six used A380 aircrafts to its fleet.BOMBARDIER
