The Airbus A321neo, introduced in 2017 with Virgin America, is a prominent narrowbody aircraft used by several U.S. airlines. It is particularly favored for its efficiency on transcontinental routes due to its extended range and reduced fuel consumption. The aircraft's engines, either Pratt & Whitney PW1100G or CFM International LEAP 1A, contribute significantly to these capabilities.
American Airlines leads in operating the A321neo within the U.S., with 82 aircraft in service. "Fort Worth-based legacy carrier American Airlines is the nation's largest operator of the Airbus A321neo," noted a source. The airline uses this model extensively on cross-country and Latin American routes.
Delta Air Lines follows with 67 A321neos, serving a vast transcontinental network from hubs like Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson and New York's JFK. Delta's fleet includes various configurations catering to different market demands.
