This Airline Has Added 4 More Transatlantic Long-Haul Airbus A321XLR Routes

Iberia was the launch customer of the Airbus A321XLR. Unlike a widebody, the equipment has far lower trip costs and requires fewer passengers to break even at a particular percentage point. While it has higher seat-mile costs and requires higher fares, it is a lower-risk opportunity. However, as always with long-haul narrowbody operations, questions persist about comfort for those in economy class.
