American Airlines currently has two active Airbus A321XLRs. However, they’ll be joined by about 15 additional frames by the end of the year as part of the carrier’s 50-strong order. The 155-seat variant entered commercial service in December from New York JFK to Los Angeles. For now, at least, three domestic routes are scheduled; the XLR will replace the 102-seat A321T.
