Back in 2021, United Airlines made waves, placing a large order for the A321neo and A321XLR. The carrier, a legacy operator of the Boeing 757, is in need of latest long-range, high-capacity narrowbody aircraft to interchange its aging 757-200 and 757-300 fleet.
With a balance of range, performance, capability, and efficiency, the newest versions of the A320 family might be the carrier’s ideal substitute. Earlier this summer, the carrier’s order made waves as United chosen Pratt & Whitney engines to power its fleet.
The large order, which consists of 70 A321neo jets and 50 A321XLR aircraft, is ready to begin deliveries later this 12 months, and today we recently received our first indication of how United intends to deploy its first aircraft. All A321neo services launched by United can be based out of Chicago-O’Hare International Airport (ORD), and fly to secondary cities and sunny leisure destinations across the country’s south.
