Transatlantic trouble: A321XLR’s range reduction disrupts airline route maps [Roundup]
News and notes on the interwebs:
- Airbus A321XLR’s range will be shorter than previously expected – And low-cost airlines with more seats perform worse than traditional airlines like BA.
if true, this is a major blow to the airline’s aircraft program. It would definitely undermine the US government’s plans to use the new aircraft. Lines from Philadelphia to Berlin, Zurich, and Rome would be eliminated. O’Hare transatlantic flights between Charlotte and Chicago would normally be cancelled.
IAG believes that Dublin (DUB) – St. Louis (STL) is within the range of the A321 XLR in that configuration. This gives him a range of 3,925 miles, which is considerably less than previously thought. The 4700 idea has certainly been talked about for some time.
