Following the delivery of the crucial Rear Center Tank earlier this month, Airbus has now begun the assembly of the world’s first A321XLR. The long-range narrowbody aircraft is being built in a dedicated hangar at Airbus’ Hamburg plant, separate from the main A320 family production lines.

I honestly don’t like it because it’s a replacement for the 757

As much as I’m looking forwards to this I think I’ll stick to the A319/20.

I’ve flown in a 757 and from a passengers PoV it is a really nice aircraft.

It indeed is, like the pilots who fly it say: “it’s basically the Ferrari of the skies”
