American Airlines has announced that it has chosen CFM International to be the continued engine partner for its Airbus A321neo fleet. These next-generation narrowbodies are set to form the backbone of the Fort Worth-based US ‘big three’ legacy carrier and oneworld founding member’s single-aisle fleet in the coming years, alongside the long-range A321XLR sub-variant. Collectively, it has outstanding orders for almost 150 of these jets.
