Icelandair, the main Icelandic airline based in Keflavik, has placed a firm order for 13 A-321XLR. The order makes it a new Airbus customer. The carrier is also planning to lease four A-321LRs.

With its extra long range, the A-321XLR will allow Icelandair to seize new market opportunities. The aircraft will also enable the airline to reduce its operating costs, support its sustainability targets and at the same time offer its passengers the best in cabin comfort.
 
The A-321XLR is the next evolutionary step from the A-320neo which responds to market needs for even more range and payload, creating more value for the airlines. It will deliver an Xtra Long Range of up to 4,700nm, lower fuel burn per seat, as well as reduced NOx emissions and noise. By the end of May 2023, the A-320neo Family had accumulated more than 8,750 orders from 136 customers worldwide.
