@@kiraasuka9943 I wouldn't mind since it would definitely make air travel cheaper. If you care about those things might aswell book on business class lol
A remarkable achievement by Airbus!! An aeroplane of this specification was much needed when the airline industry is recovering from the punch of the pandemic.The A321 XLR is surely a new era in commercial aviation.
It will bring many flights that used to be in widebodies to narrow body. With seats jammed as close as possible to maximise revenue. And when you do get up for a leg stretch there won’t be any of those places you tend to get on widebodies around the galleys and toilets where you can actually stand up straight and have a bit of room for a few minutes on a longer flight. The future of aviation is backwards not forwards from the passenger perspective.
You will get 4-4 seating arrangements that make your legs squish and 0 leg room so that they could fit the amount of passengers that they would on a 787 or an A350
@@marspp you want low prices, this is what you have to give up. Flights that I’ve had to Europe a decade ago, are still in the same price range today with everything around us 2-3x exploding in price.
I’ve recently had a number of trips on NEO’s and it’s becoming a favourite. Well done Airbus, quiet, comfortable and good space for the size of the aircraft.
I had the pleasure of seeing the XLR on a factory tour last week in Finkenwerder. They told is it would be flying this week. Nice to see everything went well. Wish you all the best for the certification process!

@@pmoore6133 I doubt it they pretty have the freight and cargo lane on lock right now. It’ll really come down to which company comes with the most innovative aircraft first. I think of Boeing wouldve made a modernized 757 it would’ve definitely boosted their sales
Airbus are more high tech and cooler, but Boeing is the classic. The Queen of the Sky, the 747. The most common airliner in the the US, the 737. Big yokes and non electronic instruments. Boeing is the classic, so that why I stick with them, tho I agree, Airbus is gaining on me.
I get what you saying. Look I this the Queen of the sky’s was great and classic. Bt now you at the comparison between the 737 max and the A320 Neo. The A320 is better and safer
Safety records are actually almost identical between the two companies. The 737 Max got a lot of attention recently, but Airbus automation has led to a handful of crashes in the past. They both make beautiful machines in my opinion.
Doubtful. Cargo capacity directly impacts an aircraft’s profitability, and the XLR has none. It’s a niche aircraft that was easy and cheap to develop from the A321neo, but they won’t sell all that many.
Thank you to all aircraft manufacturers for their efforts to advance the aviation sector, serve passengers, and comfort and safety people.. Thank you to the thinking minds and everyone who thinks and invents to serve humanity... Thank you all.
Been an Airbus fanboy ever since stepping into the A300. I consciously chose Airbus operators whenever I can. A great company, totally focused on innovation and engineering excellence.
I can't claim to be a fan of either Boeing or Airbus - I have flown on almost every model of both, and the competition for national pride and excellence has both driven the progress and technology at hypersonic speed but also caught them cutting corners of calculated risk - before anyone jumps on the Boeing Bashing Red-eye Direct Flight, don't forget Airbus' dark moments of history (like a flight from NYC to Puerto Rico that plunged into the ocean shortly after take off - the major difference between the Airbus issues and Boeing's was the rise of social media where everyone is an expert)
A first great flight from the XLR, a true game changer for a 321 plane, that thinks longer and bigger, able to do short hop and very long hop and efficient with those Neo engines, congrats to the Hamburg engineers who have worked on it too. A proud definative moment.
I know these things weigh hundreds of tonnes but when they’re in the sky they’re just so elegant. They just remind me of the albatross for whatever reason, beautiful.
ZERO chance of that. The 757 had the capacity to haul large quantities of rather heavy cargo, which made it profitable. The XLR can barely even carry the passengers’ baggage, as all of its cargo areas are used by the fuel tanks that give it its range, and with just passengers and full fuel on board it already comes close to its MTOW, which means it cannot carry cargo even if it had room for it.
Can’t wait to see MEA’s A321XLRs powered by Pratt and Whitney PW1000 engines flying their longest route nonstop from Beirut to Abidjan. They always operate the A330, however they have done it with their old A321 aircraft on low season.
What an absolutely smooth landing! 👌

Amazing man made machinery. Congrats to all involved in making it happen.
Yay! Beautiful first flight. Excited for it to enter service!
A planes that is going to change air travel for ever! Great work and congratulations to everyone involved.
