Based on the popular A321neo, this fully optimised aircraft is set to take the world of air travel in a bold and exciting new direction. Boasting 30% lower fuel burn and CO2 emissions than the previous generation of planes, as well as a noise footprint that's 50% smaller, it has a maximum flight time of 11 hours and can fly up to 4,700 nautical miles.

Airbus has talked about it having 'long-haul range, single-aisle economics', owing to the fact it has the cost-efficiency of a narrow-body aircraft and can also fly big distances (bigger, in fact, than any other single-aisle plane on the market). In June 2022, it made its maiden flight. After extensive testing, it completed its first commercial flight in November 2024 – flying from Madrid to Boston.
