TAP Air Portugal A321LR makes first commercial flight
TAP Air Portugal’s Airbus A321LR took its first commercial flight over the weekend, the airline said, operating from Lisbon to Prague. “Registered as CS-TXA, this is the company's first narrowbody aircraft with enough fuel capacity to operate in transatlantic flights, offering the premium comfort of long-haul airplanes,” TAP said. The carrier is in the process of modernising its fleet—by the end of this year it is scheduled to receive 37 new Airbus aircraft split between the A320neo, A321neo, A321LR and A330neo models and 71 new aircraft by 2025. TAP said April 4 when its first A321LR, which is equipped with 168 seats, arrived from the manufacturer, that it was first airline in the world to operate the A330neo and the A321LR simultaneously. The A321LR will allow it to expand its connections on the US east coast and in northeast Brazil. <br/>
