Icelandair Says The Airbus A321XLR “Can Do More” Than The Boeing 757

[@cskvision]

They must duplicate that stunning Aurora and Glacier liveries onto the A321XLRs. Best liveries in aviation

[@Rasscasse]

I agree with you. I hope they do too.

[@hansloyalitat9774]

They wont because of their new garbage livery

[@skylineXpert]

It gets close to the wunala days of VH-OEJ. But wunala wins...

[@karlossargeant3872]

​@hansloyalitat9774 Is not that Bad at Least not too Me I hope to Fly with Iceland Air in the upcoming years but for the Summer instead of Winter on there Boeing 737 Max 8 and 9 Planes including there upcoming Airbus A321Neos and A321XLR's too which would Interesting for me too try out.

[@thecomedypilot5894]

Yeah, and still performs like he's 25 too. The 757 is the most overpowered airliner, much more powerful than some A321.

replacing the 757 with A321XLR is like replacing a Corvette with a Golf GTI

[@marianol03]

Forget about Mexico City, there's no way any A321 (let alone the XLR) can takeoff from that airport elevation with enough fuel to reach Keflavik

[@steinwaldmadchen]

757 doesn't have the fuel to reach MEX from KEF nonstop in the first place. At least A321XLR should be able to do that.

[@stabilo3170]

Depends of the ZFW.

[@Wheninflight]

They should have gone with the A320NEO over the MAX 8 and 9 to further simplify things. I want to know how they will eventually replace their 767-300ER's, whether it is the 787 or A330NEO they go with.

[@thecomedypilot5894]

No reason to pick the A320NEO over the MAX. I think MAX performs better.

[@AEMoreira81]

I think the MAX 10 can replace the B763s given the missions that they currently fly. The A21NY (A321XLR) can do KEF to SFO.

I love the guy. I will try to fly it when back to Iceland- didn't like the MAX on the route. Flew 767 and it was by far the best experience. It roars on take-off, push you against the seat and so roomy during cruise. One of my best flight experiences ever

[@UnreälisticFlightPlans]

@@CTravelsAviation So was the 747, but it doesn't matter.

[@javacup912]

4,000 nm on a narrow body? So much for comfort. I did it on a LAX-AKL round trip on a 787, and it was tight to my taste. But I guess after enjoying many years crossing the Pacific and Atlantic on wide bodies, I would have ot get used to, as it is the unfortunate future.

[@stabilo3170]

Oooh! Please, stop crying and accept this handkerchief!

[@KingofInterns]

A modern narrowbody such as a321neo and a220 is actually compareable to wide body in terms of comfort for cattle class. Only exception to that would be A380

[@mitchberger2691]

[@Dan.d649]

If the A321-XLR can do more, then why wasn't a freighter version planned yet?? The 757 was already a robust, and capable airplane of both versions.

[@stabilo3170]

Ask Airbus, they will certainly answer to you.

[@allanm6246]

Should be regular visitors to Glasgow just like the 757.

[@cainneachdaugherty7172]

The XLR will primarily be used to access new destinations currently not within range of Icelandair's current fleet. Places like Miami, LAX, San Francisco etc. I think Icelandair made a big mistake investing in the 737MAX which is obviously a different type rating than the XLR.

There’s 2 historic narrowbodies that actually could do even better albeit their quads and with higher fuel capacity; the DC-8 Super 70’s (the -73 was the largest aircraft until the 747 started the widebody era and remains the longest narrowbody ever built) and the 707-320B Intercontinental
