I did a comprehensive look at long-haul, narrowbody flying recently, and now it’s time to think more about the future. On Thursday, Iberia became the first to put the A321XLR into service from Madrid to Boston, and there are hundreds of orders lined up across many different airlines.
This week on The Air Show, we tackled the question of whether the XLR will be a true game-changer or if it will just replace the 757s that ply the skies today.
Brian Sumers, Jon Ostrower, and I didn’t completely agree on this, so we’ll just have to gather again in five years and see what really happens.
Your thoughts, however, are welcome now… down in the comments.
