SAS takes over first A321LR

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.

This is exactly the aircraft that Austrian would need, with the number of seats without cargo the range would be considerably greater, if you went to the maximum MTOW flights from Vienna to Boston, New York, Toronto and Chicago are still easily possible, such flights would be even easier with an XLR version as you can also get to China, these machines would open up so many new routes and perspectives for Austrian, you could also use the jet on medium distances, like to the Canary Islands, many customers would also welcome a Biz or Eco plus like those in the B767/777 and would dig a little deeper into their pockets, I would be one of them. Edage, perhaps one of the Austrian bosses will read my comment and the Lufthansa Group will take it 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.
