At the end of February, Qantas unveiled new photos and video of its first Airbus A321XLR. The aircraft is making gradual progress towards entering service, with its airframe fully assembled but still lacking engines.
The Airbus A321XLR is a significant addition to Qantas' fleet, expected to offer improved range and fuel efficiency compared to previous models. This particular model represents a step forward in Qantas' strategy to modernize its fleet and expand its route capabilities.
Qantas has been eagerly anticipating the delivery of this aircraft, which is part of a larger order aimed at renewing their domestic and international fleets. The airline expects that the A321XLR will enable them to operate long- haul flights more economically, opening up new destinations and improving service on existing routes.
