The ACJ320 Family has the largest cabin of any single-aisle aircraft in the sky and offers intercontinental range as well as the greatest passenger comfort. "We are proud of this new milestone, which has been recorded with Airbus' long-standing close relationship with Lufthansa Technik and the German government."
The A321LR is a member of the A110neo Family, which receives over 7.400 orders from over 320 customers. It provides 30 percent fuel savings and is 50 percent quieter compared to previous generation competitors. With a range of up to 4.000 nm (7.400 km) and a capacity of 206 passengers, the A321LR offers true transatlantic capability and first-class wide body comfort in a single-aisle cabin with its unrivaled long range.
