The Scandinavian Star Alliance member SAS now has a long-haul Airbus A321LR. This is equipped with CFM Leap-1A engines. The delivery flight from Hamburg to Copenhagen was carried out with a ten percent admixture of synthetic kerosene.

SAS has ordered a total of three units, which will be procured through the leasing company Air Lease Corporation. The machines have 157 seats in three classes: 22 in the “SAS Business”, 12 in the “SAS Plus” and 123 in the “SAS Go”. The carrier plans to use the machines from Nordic countries on transatlantic routes. The range is about 7.400 kilometers.

    With Austrian, the plane would also be needed, with the number of seats without freight the range would be even greater, if you were to go to a maximum of MTOW, flights from Vienna to, Boston, New York, Toronto, Chicago are easily possible even easier if such flights were with an XLR version you would also come to China, these machines would open up so many new routes and perspectives for Austrian, you can also use the jet on medium distances and it was to the Canary Islands, many customers would also have a biz or Eco plus as they are in the B767 / 777 are also welcomed and grab a little more in my pocket, I would be one of them. Perhaps someone from the Austrian boss will read my comment, and the Lufthansa Group takes that to heart.
    The future will be smaller jets on longer routes, the A321XLR will play a decisive role there, the Lufthansa Group will notice it at the latest when Jet Blue, United, American, and Transat (Canadian) in the German-speaking area will transfer them from secondary airports the ears flies.
