Air Transat has chosen Airbus A321LR
Ten Airbus A321LR aircraft will join the fleet of Canadian airline Air Transat, making it the first operator in North America with this type of aircraft.
Don't imagine that he bought them directly from Airbus. Air Transat has leased A321LR aircraft from AerCap and intends to introduce them into commercial service starting with 2019.

The A321LR model is based on the success of the A321neo model, which owns over 80% of the market share, with over 1.400 of orders so far.
The LR (Long Range) option increases flight range by up to 7000 kilometers and packs up to 30% reduction in operating costs compared to the nearest competitor.
The A321LR model allows airlines to access new markets over medium and long distances, which were previously inaccessible with single-aisle aircraft. With 206 passengers in a two-class configuration, the A321LR offers every passenger the opportunity to carry up to three luggage.
Success! It looks like it is resurrecting B 757-200!
