Aer Lingus adds first of 8 Airbus A321LRs
Aer Lingus has taken delivery of its first Airbus A321LR, becoming the sixth operator worldwide to operate the type. The aircraft is the first of 8 of the model scheduled for delivery to the airline through 2020 from Air Lease Corp's order book with Airbus. Powered by CFM International Leap-1A engines, the airplane features a 2-class cabin configured with 16 business-class and 168 economy-class seats. “The new ALC A321neoLR will enable Aer Lingus to substantially increase the number of flights, frequencies, and new destinations between Ireland and the US and Canada,” commented Air Lease executive chairman Steven Udvar-Házy. Plans now call for the long-range single-aisle aircraft to enter commercial service Aug 2 on the route between Dublin and Hartford, Connecticut. <br/>
