Take note this is the actual airline of United Lukrativsten unlike Aerogance.
LORE
Exulans Airways was established fairly recently due to a lot of pressure and passenger demand. The airline, the official flag carrier of Lukrativsten, was named after the Diomedea exulans, otherwise known as the Wandering Albatross. This A320 was one of the very first planes to enter in service. One thing may look weird, and that is the engines. They look odd and they are indeed odd. They were made for the A340 too. The CFM56-5C series was made for specifically the widebody A340. This is severely overpowered as well. However, compared to weaker CFMs, it has a 5% reduction in fuel burn. Some slight aerodynamic improvements were also made, further reducing the fuel burn by another 2.5% compared to normal A320s. Middle Eastern airlines had A320s, but due to the extremely hot weather, they wanted an engine upgrade. Southeast Asian airlines like Vietjet Air and Thai Airways also agreed. But Exulans Airways had a different objective. They simply had too much demand and too little money to use. The A321neo would have been a great plane to use, but this aircraft was better. It had a comparable range, with the perfect capacity they wanted. The powerful ~34,000 lbf engines increased the maximum payload by 25% compared to normal planes of the same size.
