JetBlue to decide on the A321LR in 2019
JetBlue Airways CE Robin Hayes says the airline will make a decision on the Airbus A321LR in 2019, almost 3 years after it took up the option of converting some deliveries to the long-range variant. Hayes said in a message to employees: "In 2019 we will announce our decision on the long range version of the A321. This aircraft could open up new and exciting markets for us." A JetBlue spokesperson says: "We have not committed to the LR, or to adding Europe to our network, but that is certainly an environment that JetBlue competes well in." She adds that JetBlue continues to have the option to take delivery of the A321LR. JetBlue added that option in July 2016, when it announced an order for 30 additional A321s split evenly between the A321neo and A321ceo. <br/>
