Summary
Airbus announced plans to build an extended-range version of its A321 jet, allowing for longer flights. This comes as Airbus shifts towards smaller, more efficient aircraft and as Boeing faces challenges with its 737 Max planes. The new Airbus A321XLR is expected to enter service in 2023 and could be used on routes previously only served by wide-body planes.
