Bet they could resell that for more than the list price . Much sought after and it would enable someone like EZY to explore the transatlantic market.

Airbus is goated. Thanks for the news Simple Flying I saw the flight on Flight Radar 24

A321 XLR will be popular among budget airlines for international service like transatlantic route. It can reach most Western European cities from most USA cities with less passenger seats, but with less fuel cost. Great boon for budget airlines.

Aer Lingus is due to get one but are grounding an Airbus A330 and restructuring the use of their fleet because of a limit being put on the number of passengers at Dublin Airport. Ireland takes international flights from Knock (which can accommodate landing an A380 for maintenance, albeit not for passengers), Kerry (which has a short runway and a small terminal so is limited to what planes can land there), Cork and Shannon. Airlines should consider utilising these airports more in my opinion. Visitors can still include Dublin city in their stay and, with hotel prices the way they are in Dublin, it might work out better value for money with a base outside the capital. But the A321 XLR seems like a plane well suited for this situation.

Simple flying once again with Concorde levels of editing speed :D

Great news for both Airbus and Iberia.
By getting this first XLR delivered it shows how efficient Airbus are in bringing new models to the market in a reasonable time span( Boeing please note) Hope that IAG ( BA) will transfer some options from the 737 MAX to the 321XLR

[wadehiggins]

Congratulations, Airbus! Rest in pieces, boeing!

[edikaninyang]

The 737 MAX 10 IS STILL WAITING CERTIFICATION 😭🤲
