I would say that the A321 XLR gives larger capacities to the narrow body segment without designing a new aircraft but modifying -in a very smart manner- an existing model. This is the cheapest way for increasing the service that the company offer ( = company business).
With the A321XLRs ability to fly up to 4,700 nautical miles, airlines can now operate long-haul routes with a single-aisle aircraft. This level of flexibility is a game-changer for the industry.
The combination of efficiency, range, and passenger comfort makes the A321XLR a strong contender in the market. It’s an exciting development for aviation.
The Airbus A321XLRs extended range is a game-changer, allowing airlines to operate long-haul routes without the need for larger, less efficient aircraft.
Consider an aircraft manufacturer who *persistently* puts production before passenger safety then *buys* their way out of trouble with the law. Not a company who's products I want to fly on. You all know who I'm talking about.
Boeing got too greedy with 737, choosing to tweak the airplane too much, just to avoid the investment into a new clean sheet design. It ended up losing more money in 737 Max and damaged the reputation almost irreparably. If they had taken up a clean sheet design for a narrow body a decade back, today they would not have to cede the 757 market to Airbus. But Boeing will bounce back. Hopefully with the 777x and also a clean sheet narrow body design soon.
The introduction of the A321XLR allows airlines to open new routes that were previously not feasible with older aircraft. This ability to serve more destinations directly is a significant advantage.
@@ACPilotI wouldn't call point to point medium long haul connections of smaller airports and keeping routes off season a niche. Also the orderbook invalidates your argument.
@@BigWhoopZH Around 7000 backlog of A320 NEO series, some 550 of them the XLR. Some 10.000 NEO total orders including already delivered. Percentage wise the XLR is niche.
Wonder if they're looking at making a Freighter version of this. Seems like it would be handy for the 757F replacements when Logistic Companies are looking for new aircraft. Though the low cost airlines are most interesting how they'd use it, either to let them fly out with full passengers and then fly back without refuelling abroad or utilising the range to expand their network. And I deffo will consider one of these transatlantic if I'm in a Business seat.
The future of aviation looks promising with the A321XLR leading the way in long-range efficiency and performance. Boeing will need to step up their game to keep pace with this impressive Airbus development.
Dave Calhoun felt the better decision was instead of investing in a new aircraft to compete with this, he felt it more prudent to divert the funds to his back account, other executives and key shareholders. They will now never want for anything again. Anything and everything they ever want to buy, they will be able to.
The extended range of the A321XLR enables airlines to optimize their route networks, reducing the need for stopovers and improving operational efficiency.
While I expect the 321XLR to be a big financial success, kill off the old 757s and create some brand new niches I reckon expecting it to kill off Boeing is way, way exaggerated. As you point out Boeing has attempted to kill itself off with its own mistakes, but it has not succeeded - manufacturers who have years-long wait lists across their product range are not about to die off. Plus if all else fails Boeing can turn to Uncle Sam in the form of padded military and space contracts - for the US the reality is that Boeing is much too big to fail.
I wonder about two things. The first longhaul-narrowbody has a main cost-advantage, it needs less cabincrew than a widebody. How is an entire crew of a narrowbody going to serve for a transoceanic flight of, let's say, 9 to 11 hours? Second thing: after 8 hours, pilots have a mandatory restperiod. Does the XLR provide a restingarea? Seems unlikely. In a next video, can you tell us about that?
I flew on JetBlue from Amsterdam to JFK. They did it with 2 pilots, but there was an extra business class seat with heavy curtains around it for crew. Why would serving a transoceanic flight be different to serve on with a narrow body versus wide body? They are not handling 350 passengers.
Airbus has demonstrated its commitment to innovation with the A321XLR, setting a new standard for long-range single-aisle aircraft. This could redefine market expectations.
The Airbus A321XLR is set to revolutionize the aviation market with its extended range capabilities. This could significantly impact Boeings market share as airlines look for more efficient long-haul options.
Boeing needs to go back to its roots of what made it successful: excellence in engineering design and manufacturing. None of these penny wise, pound foolish short term financial engineering. They really, really need to focus on excellence in aeronautical engineering again.
The A321XLRs enhanced capabilities position it as a strong competitor to Boeings 737 MAX series. The pressure is on Boeing to respond with innovations of their own.
I can see Indigo utilizing the spanking new A321XLRs on the routes Delhi - Berlin or Mumbai - Berlin. As Berlin saw an increase of Indian immigrants reaching 15000 per year. Berlin is a Destination destined to welcome A321 XLR. It’s not big enough to justify a larger aircraft’s
Well I vote with my wallet , I now don’t book any flights that use the Max. I’m fine with other Boeing aircraft, but if I’m honest I’m more comfortable flying Airbus now .
@@PaulDickson-yi2vw 737 seats are 17inches wide, A380 is 18.5 inches. Anyway I was talking about the cramped feel of a 757 vs wide bodies. And economy is economy? Emirates put in 10 abreast seats in a 777 when other airlines had 9 abreast.
Boeing handed over the big market on a platter , thanks to American business school driven 'Strategy".It is great plane. It can fly from India to US with one stop in Europe. Fantastic.Imagine an all business flight from India to US on this plane.
If Airlines have short or medium distance destinations with a high difference in fuel cost, they might save money filling up at the cheaper airport. If they need more than one fill, they might decide to only fill up what they need at the more expensive airport. Not a deciding point in buying one, but if anyway needed it might tip the scales.
Boeing made a series of big mistake while they were fighting Bombardier with the CS series. Maybe they were hopping Bombardier go down under and the program halted, but as soon as Bombardier landed the first huge order with Delta, all hell break loose with Boeing file lawsuits. Meanwhile Boeing had an aging popular 737 that they kept stretching to its limit instead of developing a replacement to be in line with the 787. To make matters worse, they didn’t have plans for a new 757. But, the biggest mistake was the companies commitment to output as much 737 possible which required the FAA to let Boeing self controlled, that led to quality issues and failures. In the meantime, Airbus came to the rescue of Bombardier and the rest is history. Boeing CEO at the time Denis Mullenburg focus was pleasing wallstreet
The A321XLRs fuel efficiency and lower operating costs make it an attractive option for airlines. This economic advantage could lead to a shift in fleet preferences away from Boeing.
Well, in my idea the new AIRBUS A321xlr upgrade is the end of BOEING for Indonesia just like Garuda Indonesia if it is BOEING 737 can replace by the new AIRBUS A321xlr for the future.
Pls consider the psychological factor for the passengers to fly long range. Boeing had some B737 NG`s as Business Class Flights form Europe to the USA and it was never profitable !! Reason, the passengers preferred C-Class in a wide body much more. I only can imagine, will be suitable to fly more point to point destinations, where a low passenger demand will be. But, like the ultra long range flights, the passengers are not very motivated to sit 15h and more in a y-class configuration. During my active time, I never saw a seat load factor of more then 69.9% for the A340-500. My successor says very much the same now, even with the introduction of the A350-1000 long ranger. It is a bit higher, but did not reach the target of 94% yet. Maybe when they lower the prices for the tickets, but then it will not bear the costs anyway. I see this airplane only a new opportunity for charter operators, with no cargo and only charter tourism segments.
Boeing was an engineers' company. Mc Donnell-Douglas was an accountants' company. The Merger of both companies in 1997 allowed the beans' counters to takeover the management reins. Since then, the only thing that matter was "Shareholders' Value". As the result, Boeing fucked up. This didn't happen out of the blue, the FAA allowed it. How could the FAA allowed Boeing and its suppliers to use their own personnel to oversight their work. you cannot have a cake and eat it. The engineers need to come back to the helm. It will take time but Boeing will survive as they are too big to fail. This is a cautionary tale for the apostles of the short term "Shareholder's value", unfortunately there are others in many industries such as Food, Pharmaceutical, etc... That said, Airbus, an engineering company, has done a great job. The A321 is a beautiful plane.
For the same reason, accountants and the bottom line, Americans drink Robusta instead of real Arabica coffee. As a career accounting, tax & auditing manager: accountants don't belong in the boardroom. I have seen many businesses fail due to accounting policies.
Cost cutting cost them market share. B717 replaced by A220. B757 by A321xlr. Boeing's plan was to replace both b717 and 757 with b737 family. But max debacle destroyed their plans
What we used to fly on in the 60s and 70s - VC10, 707, DC8, I've flown long haul (including 10hours+) in them all. Some flights were better than others, but on average no worse than wide bodies.
Airbus is clearly taking the lead but let's face it, companies will have to wait before they get delivered and Airbus in not able to meet demands...That's why Boeing needs to thrive or the airline business is going to be short on planes.
Yes, far more than Boeing with the MAX. The A321 was never inteded for takeoff weights above 100 tons with this small wing. Personally i think it will fly like crap..
The A321XLRs success in the market could potentially shift airline loyalty from Boeing to Airbus. The competitive edge provided by this aircraft is hard to ignore.
Passengers will benefit from the A321XLRs advanced cabin features and increased comfort on long flights. This could make it a preferred choice over Boeings offerings.
Not true. The 777 runs for about $18000 per hour and the XLR about $8000 per hour. You can fly 2 for the same cost basically. But the big win is that you don’t have to sell a lot of seats to be profitable. Also, you can connect two smaller airports. Example: you live in Pittsburgh and need to go to London.

No stop in JFK.

I’m curious to see how Boeing will respond to this. Will they speed up their own upgrades?
Let's wait for their response
