Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) has won the
first A321LR order for two aircraft from Lufthansa Technik. The
aircraft will be multi-role capable and can be equipped for various
types of missions, such as troop transport, different medical
evacuation roles and will be operated by the German Air Force
(Luftwaffe). Lufthansa Technik has now placed a total order of five
Airbus aircraft on behalf of the German Government: three ACJ350-900s
and two A321LRs. The A321LRs will be able to fly up to 163
passengers, up to six intensive care patients and up to 12 medium
care patients, depending on the installed configuration, with a
maximum range of 4,200 nautical miles or 9.5 flight hours.
The A321LR is a member of the A320neo
Family with over 7,400 orders by more than 110 customers. It delivers
30 percent fuel savings and nearly 50 percent reduction in noise
footprint compared to previous generation competitor aircraft. The
A321LR is the unrivalled long-range route opener, featuring true
transatlantic capability and premium wide-body comfort in a
single-aisle aircraft cabin.
Some 12,000 Airbus aircraft are in
service worldwide.
Around 200 Airbus corporate jets are in
service on every continent, including Antarctica.
