The A321neo is the longest-fuselage member of Airbus’ best-selling, single-aisle A320 Family,
comfortably seating 180 to 220 passengers in a typical two-class interior layout,
and as many as 244 in a higher-density arrangement.

“Why A321neo is PERFECT!” So without any further ado, Let's begin.
Airbus has been leading the charge with a stream of enhancements to its largest single-aisle plane,
the A321. First came the Airbus A321neo with new engines and aerodynamic features
that bolster the A321's range and performance capabilities while lowering its operating costs.
The A321neo is a single-aisle aircraft with a new engine option. The integration of the new
engine is performed with minimal changes to the baseline A319s, A320s, and A321s.
The aircraft shares the common type rating with other Airbus family members, which is easier
for pilots to manage. The airliner features an innovative blended winglet design called
‘Sharklet’. The design and the new engine option enhance efficiency and reduce fuel consumption by
20%. It further increases the range by 900km or enables the aircraft to carry 2t of supplementary
payload. The aircraft is available in multiple configurations to meet the user requirements.
It offers a typical two-class seating layout for accommodating 180 to 220 passengers. The
optimum use of cabin space helped to achieve an increased seating capacity and exit limits,
as well as a new cabin door configuration. As the industry
recovers, the A330s will be used heavier in some of the big metro, cargo markets.
Meanwhile, the A321s will spill out into some of the second-tier destinations
where markets don't have as much cargo demand. The 787 is expected to become the Hawaiian’s
flagship aircraft. Additionally, the 717 has proved its reliability on interisland hops,
and Hawaiian has plenty of appreciation for the workhorse.
However, when it comes to other short to medium-haul passenger operations,
especially those to the West Coast, the A321neo is the perfect solution for the airline.
Like every member of the A320 Family, the A321’s widest cross-section in the single-aisle jetliner
category enables airlines to utilize the Airbus standard of 18-inch-wide seats giving
passengers an even more comfortable flight. The cabin width also offers the possibility
for a wider aisle and plenty of overhead storage space to help passengers board
and disembark with minimum fuss, as well as giving cabin crew more space in which to work.
Airlines quickly realized the A321neo's potential to make some of their long-haul routes
more efficient by downsizing from their wide-body aircraft.
A flight between New York and London could be flown cheaper using an A321neo
than an Airbus A330, for example, with fewer seats to fill in order to make
a profit. And the trend is quickly growing in the transatlantic market.
TAP Air Portugal, Aer Lingus, JetBlue Airways, Air Transat, and
La Compagnie all regularly fly the A321neo and A321neoLR
between the US and Western Europe. The A321neo aircraft is powered by either CFM International’s
LEAP-1A engine or Pratt & Whitney’s (P&W) PurePower PW1100G-JM geared turbofan engine.
The A321neo aircraft provides a range of 7,400km with a maximum ramp weight of 97.4t. The maximum
take-off weight (MTOW) and the landing weights are 97t and 79.2t respectively. The aeroplane
can hold a maximum fuel of 32,940l and its zero fuel weight is 75.6t. The aircraft has a maximum
Mach number (MMO) of M0.82. The aircraft combines favorably with the Boeing 717 and Airbus A330.
American’s first neo is currently flying out-and-back trips from PHX
to MCO. More routes will be added as more aircraft arrive. American’s second neo has been delivered
and is undergoing the usual preparations to get it ready before it enters passenger service.
“We love that ability to fly longer distances much more economically than our current fleet
of A321s with a higher passenger payload and where traffic demand is already high,” Dave said.
“It’s a great airplane. Those engines are smooth and quiet,”
Craig added. “New airplanes are always fun to fly.”
