Icelandair has announced the arrival of its first Airbus A321LR, registered as TF-IAA, marking a significant development for the airline. The aircraft is set to enter service on December 10, with the rest of Icelandair's A321LRs expected to arrive in the first half of 2025.
The new A321LR features a two-class layout with 187 seats, including 22 business class (SAGA) seats and 165 economy seats, which offer 18 extra legroom options. This configuration provides more seating capacity compared to Icelandair's Boeing 737 MAX 8s and MAX 9s, as well as its Boeing 757-200s.
As part of its fleet renewal strategy, Icelandair plans to replace its long-serving Boeing 757s with the new LRs and forthcoming A321XLRs starting in 2029. The airline has confirmed that the Boeing 757 will be completely phased out by 2027. Two of Icelandair's Boeing 757-300 aircraft have already been wet-leased to Fly Khiva in Uzbekistan.
