American Airlines is set to revolutionize the air travel industry in the US with its new Airbus A321XLR aircraft. This premium product will offer a widebody experience on a narrowbody aircraft, allowing the airline to fly to new destinations and expand seasonal routes.
The A321XLR will be outfitted with American Airlines’ flagship business class product and privacy suites, providing passengers with the most premium cabins for any of their narrowbody aircraft. The cabin branding will reflect American Airlines’ identity, featuring on-brand trim and finishes, 4k monitors, and USB and A/C power units. These design elements will eventually be implemented across the rest of the airline’s fleet.
Customers can look forward to fast and reliable Wi-Fi connectivity onboard the A321XLR, as American Airlines is committed to providing the highest speed Wi-Fi to its passengers. Customers can also redeem their AAdvantage miles for Wi-Fi connectivity.
While no exact date has been confirmed for the A321XLR’s entry into service with American Airlines, Airbus has delayed it until the second half of the year. Iberia, part of the International Airlines Group (IAG), is expected to be the first carrier to deploy it on flights from Madrid to Boston and Washington DC. They anticipate receiving their initial aircraft by the end of the summer.
