Airbus’ A321XLR is a niche aircraft; it’s a variant of the best-selling A321neo family with an extended range of up to 4,700 nautical miles. It has seen strong initial demand since its launch in 2019. Based on the latest available data from Airbus reports, aviation databases, and recent airline announcements, here is a summary of firm orders and notable changes.
It is becoming more apparent that the XLR is indeed a niche model. Few have been delivered to date, and as markets evolve, we expect more airlines and lessors to adapt their orders.
Co-Founder AirInsight. My previous life includes stints at Shell South Africa, CIC Research, and PA Consulting. Got bitten by the aviation bug and ended up an Avgeek. Then the data bug got me, making me a curious Avgeek seeking data-driven logic. Also, I appreciate conversations with smart people from whom I learn so much. Summary: I am very fortunate to work with and converse with great people.
