The benchmark A320 Family\u2019s largest member \u2013 the A321 \u2013 offers airline customers the best seat-mile costs of any single-aisle aircraft and seating capacities comparable to that of a widebody jetliner.<\/p>\n

This aircraft has a stretched fuselage with an overall length of 44.51 metres, along with an extended operating range of up to 3,000 nautical miles while carrying a maximum passenger payload. Like each member in Airbus\u2019 A320 Family of jetliners, the A321 offers the lowest fuel burn, emissions and noise footprint in its class.<\/p>\n

The A321 typically accommodates 185 passengers in a two-class configuration (16 in first class and 169 in economy) \u2013 while offering unbeatable economics in high-density seating (with up to 220 passengers) for charter and low-cost operators. The twin-engine A321 can be powered by either of two engine options: the CFM International CFM56 or International Aero Engines\u2019 V2500<\/p>\n

The industry-leading efficiency of Airbus\u2019 A320 Family \u2013 of which the A321 is a member \u2013 will be further enhanced in 2015 with the service introduction of its new engine option jetliner versions.<\/p>\n

Incorporating Airbus\u2019 \u201cSharklet\u201d wing tip devices and two new engine choices, the A320neo Family offers maximum benefit with minimal changes from baseline<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\nA family approach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
The A321 benefits from operational commonality with its fellow A320 Family members, providing carriers with tremendous flexibility in matching aircraft to specific route requirements. All A320 Family aircraft share a single type rating \u2013 allowing pilots to fly any member of the Family after attending only one training course and enabling the same team of mechanics to maintain an<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
<\/td>\n<\/td>\n\naircraft.<\/p>\n

With only minimal additional training, pilots also can transition quickly from these single-aisle jetliners to Airbus\u2019 larger long-range aircraft quickly thanks to the unique family concept and their exceptional degree of operational commonality.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

While passengers benefit from the A321\u2019s state-of-the-art cabin design, airlines profit from the unique operational flexibility of Airbus\u2019 single-aisle aircraft \u2013 with the option to provide wider seats and enhanced comfort; a markedly wider aisle for faster boarding and easier cabin movement; and even a hybrid layout. Overall passenger comfort is further enhanced by the A321\u2019s optional in-flight entertainment systems.<\/p>\n

The A320 Family\u2019s wide fuselage also offers unmatched cargo capability for operators. Its four members are the only single-aisle aircraft offering containerised cargo, with the A321 capable of carrying up to 10 standard LD3-46W containers in the lower deck holds \u2013 enabling interlining without special ground handling equipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
