Jetstar Japan to introduce A321LRs from 2020

Jetstar Japan will add 3 Airbus A321LRs to its fleet from 2020, with plans to possibly use the jets to open up new routes to Southeast Asia. The new jets will join a fleet of 24 A320ceos that operate from 4 bases across Japan on a range of domestic and international routes. Jetstar Japan states that the A321LRs will be deployed across its existing network, and that there are also plans to use the jets' longer-range capability to “develop middle-range international routes, including Southeast Asia.” The aircraft will likely come from the Qantas group’s orderbook of 99 A320neo family jets. Jetstar said that the three jets are in addition to the 18 A321LRs that will enter into service with its Australian operation between 2020 and 2023. <br/>
