About the craft-


1

The Airbus A321 has been a cornerstone of American Airlines’ fleet since it was introduced in 2013 as part of the airline’s strategy to modernize its aircraft lineup. The A321, a stretched variant of the A320, offers a larger capacity, seating up to 236 passengers in a dense, single-class configuration, or about 190 passengers in a two-class layout. This aircraft is particularly well-suited for American Airlines’ transcontinental routes, providing a balance between range—up to 3,700 nautical miles—and fuel efficiency. The A321 has been instrumental in replacing older Boeing 757s and filling in on routes where the larger widebody aircraft might be less economical. With a list price around $129 million, the A321 is a key component of American’s commitment to providing a modern, comfortable flying experience for its passengers.
