A great order for Airbus ! Thursday July 21, 2022, during the farnborough airshow (England), the European aircraft manufacturer has concluded an agreement with the Chilean company LATAM Airlines.
17 A321neo for LATAM…
The company based in Waves (Chile) one ordered 17 A321neo in order to expand its flight offer, “bringing the total number of aircraft ordered by the company in its A320neo order book to 100”, specifies Airbus.
“We welcome LATAM’s strategic vision and sustainability ambition. This order for the A321neo following its restructuring is a strong sign of the value that Airbus brings to make this vision and this ambition a reality,” said Christian Scherer, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Airbus International. .
…and soon A321XLRs!
On the sidelines of this order, and without giving the number of aircraft, LATAM also confirmed the arrival of theA321XLR in his fleet. This revolutionary new aircraft – it will allow airlines to fly longer, with more passengers, while consuming less fuel than previous generation aircraft – will complement LATAM’s long-haul operations.
“The A321XLR will allow the opening of new routes and will allow LATAM to increase its international influence in the region.”
If it has already been ordered from 550 copies by various companies, it will be necessary to wait before being able to travel in A321XLR. Its commissioning is scheduled for the beginning of 2024.. In the meantime, he regularly performs tests above Toulouse.
