The Airbus A321 and Boeing 757 are both key players in the long-range, high-capacity twin-engine aircraft market. These jets offer significant advantages to airlines, such as fuel efficiency and range capabilities, allowing them to serve longer routes without investing in widebody jets.
The Boeing 757 was first delivered on December 22, 1982, with its last delivery on November 28, 2005. Over this period, Boeing delivered a total of 1,050 units. The aircraft is a narrowbody model developed by Boeing with production based in Renton, Washington.
In contrast, the Airbus A321 is part of the A320 family from European manufacturer Airbus. This jet provides versatility for various routes and crew operations within the same family of aircraft. It entered service in March 1993 and has been continually updated to improve performance.
