Aer Lingus has taken delivery of its first Airbus A321XLR aircraft.
It is the second airline in the world to receive this model, following Iberia Airlines, with six aircraft delivered. The configuration includes 16 seats in Business Class and 168 seats in Economy Class, totaling 184 seats. The overhead luggage bins in the cabin have increased storage space by 60% compared to previous generation aircraft.
Equipped with two CFM International LEAP-1A engines, the aircraft has a range of 4,700 nautical miles. This is 15% longer than the long-haul Airbus A321LR variant. It also consumes 30% less fuel compared to all previous generations of competing aircraft. This enables the establishment of new routes, including crossing the Atlantic to destinations such as Nashville and Indianapolis.
