Aer Lingus, Iberia, and Wizz Air UK have integrated the Airbus A321XLR into their fleets. As of May 21, these airlines collectively operate seven aircraft: Aer Lingus and launch customer Iberia each possess three, while Wizz Air has one. The number of aircraft is expected to grow as deliveries continue.
Recently, two new aircraft were delivered. On May 20, Wizz Air received its first A321XLR from Hamburg X to London Luton with a fly past at 1,000 feet under the call sign ‘Wizz Go X-ray Lima Romeo One’. On May 17, Aer Lingus took delivery of its third unit in Dublin.
According to Cirium Diio data analyzed between June 2025 and February 2026, several long-haul routes are planned for the A321XLR. Notably absent is Wizz Air's previously planned Milan to Abu Dhabi route due to its cancellation.
