61-524: The Dubai Airshow started life as Arab Air in 1986 - a small civil aviation trade show which F&E organised at the Dubai World Trade Centre . The first Dubai Airshow was held in 1989 at Dubai Airport, spurred on by substantial Middle East investment in civil and military aviation. The Dubai Airshow grew from 200 exhibitors and 25 aircraft in 1989. In 1991 due to the outbreak of the Gulf War ,

122-947: A "niche aircraft" less comfortable than widebodies, and a large lessor is hesitant as it expects a 400–500 aircraft market. Airbus argues that the minimal changes mean it can be used as a regular A321neo and ALC forecast potential for 50 operators in the next five years. The market could prefer shorter turnaround times to more range. On 29 October 2019, IndiGo placed a firm order for 300 A320neo Family aircraft, including 69 A321XLR. On 3 December 2019, United Airlines announced an order to purchase 50 new Airbus A321XLR aircraft, with deliveries beginning in 2024, to replace their Boeing 757–200 fleet. Valued at $ 7.1 billion before discounts ($ 142M each), United plans to use these aircraft for additional destinations in Europe from its East Coast hubs in Washington and Newark, New Jersey. In April 2020, 450 orders for

183-577: A $ 28.2 Billion market value and Boeing had 301 for $ 19.5 Billion. On the opening day of the Dubai Airshow 2019, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed and Sheikh Hamdan took a private tour the latest Emirates A380. A similar aircraft also led the way during the opening procession of the Dubai Airshow 2019. On 18 November 2019, the second day of the biennial airshow, Emirates announced an order worth a total of $ 16 billion for 50 Airbus A350-900 aircraft. The delivery for

244-502: A 164-seat, 97 t (214,000 lb) MTOW variant with three auxiliary fuel tanks called the A321neoLR (Long Range) with 100 nmi (190 km; 120 mi) more operational range than a Boeing 757 -200 configured with 169 seats, 27% lower trip costs and 24% lower per seat costs; it was scheduled for introduction in the second half of 2018, two years after the A321neo. Airbus launched

305-492: A commercial development in DWTC, was completed, including Offices 1 with 14,197 square meters of leasable space for businesses and multiple retail and F&B outlets.

Premium Aerotec will manufacture the specific aft centre fuel tank primary structure, Spirit AeroSystems will build the inboard single-slotted flap, FACC AG will produce a modified belly fairing , while Collins Aerospace and Parker Aerospace are developing

427-666: A concourse connecting Halls 1 and 2, the Convention Tower, Novotel , and Ibis Hotels. In 2009, a further expansion took the total exhibition floorspace to 92,900 square meters with the addition of the Sheikh Saeed halls. In 2015, the DWTC Authority was established, making the district a free zone. In 2016 the addition of the Za’abeel Halls saw a further15,500 square meters of event space. Simultaneously, phase 1 of One Central,

488-542: A demonstration flight at the Farnborough Airshow . The XLR needs 10–15% more work than an ACF, itself requiring 30% more work than a standard A321neo. Engines used for now generate 33,000 lbf (150 kN) of thrust and could be sufficient, and no more than the 35,000 lbf (160 kN) already certified are needed for the XLR. The XLR is a low-risk, high-commonality variant but more substantial upgrades could include

549-485: A further 45. Also airBaltic placed an order for 30 Airbus A220-300s. On 14 November: Ethiopian Airlines placed an order for 20 737-8s with options for a further 21 and an order for 11 787-9s with options for a further 15; Egyptair ordered ten A350-900s.

610-664: A high-density arrangement. The A321neo was announced by Airbus in December 2010, as an improvement and replacement to the A321ceo. Fitted with new engines and sharklets as standard, the A321neo has the longest fuselage of any Airbus narrow-body airliner of commercial use. Fitted with CFM International LEAP-1A or Pratt & Whitney PW1100G-JM engines, Airbus advertises a 20% increase in fuel efficiency per passenger, with 500 nautical miles (930 km; 580 mi) more range, or 2 tonnes (4,400 lb) more of payload. Boeing introduced

671-449: A new engine and extended fuselage fuel tanks. Improvements from the A320neo included increased wing loading and structural strengthening, most notably of all a stretched fuselage. By permanently replacing the second door pair in front of the wing (R2/L2) with a new second pair of overwing exits , the capacity of the A321neo is increased from 220 seats to 240 seats and fuel efficiency per seat

Test flights included a LEAP-powered, long range 4,100 nmi (7,600 km; 4,700 mi) flight by great circle distance , flown in near 11 h and the equivalent of 162 passengers over 4,700 nmi (8,700 km; 5,400 mi) including headwinds, with five crew and 11 technicians. Airbus announced its joint FAA/EASA certification on 2 October 2018, including ETOPS up to 180 min, allowing any transatlantic route. As original launch operator Primera Air ceased operations,

1037-547: Is a single-aisle airliner created by Airbus . The A321neo ( neo being an acronym for "new engine option") is developed from the Airbus A321 and Airbus A320neo family . It is the longest stretched fuselage of Airbus's A320 series , and the newest version of the A321, with the original A321ceo entering service in 1994 with Lufthansa . It typically seats 180 to 220 passengers in a two-class configuration, with up to 244 passengers in

1098-421: Is a rate-command to hit the 3°/sec rotation rate to capture the right pitch attitude and there is an "electronic tail bumper" preventing a tailstrike if the stick is less than three-quarters of the way aft; additional thrust, slower rotation and lift-off speeds require more rudder authority and its maximum deflection went from 25° to 30°. By January 2018, the A321neo had received 1,920 orders, exceeding orders for

1159-402: Is also set to be one of the launch customers. American Airlines converted 30 A321neo orders to XLRs and ordered an additional 20 XLRs. Indigo Partners also placed an order for 50 XLRs for its airline divisions and Frontier Airlines ordered 18, bringing the total number of commitments announced at the show to 243. Some are cautious about the potential market: Lufthansa sees the variant as

1220-537: Is increased by 6%, exceeding 20% together with the new engines and the sharklets. The modifications should weigh 100 kg more. Initial A321neos have the A321ceo exit door configuration with four exit door pairs until the Airbus Cabin-Flex (ACF) layout can be selected. The third door pair (R3/L3), aft of the wings, is moved aft four frames back and could be plugged for 200 seats or less, and one overwing exit can be plugged for 165 seats or less. In October 2017,

1281-944: Is worth $ 15.1 billion at list prices. On November 15, Indigo Partners (unrelated to Indian LCC IndiGo ) signed a memorandum of understanding for 430 Airbus: 273 A320neos and 157 A321neos for $ 49.5 billion at list prices; Indigo controls Frontier Airlines and Chilean low-cost start-up JetSmart , holds stakes in Mexican budget airline Volaris and European LCC Wizz Air : 146 aircraft will go to Wizz, 134 to Frontier, 80 to Volaris and 70 to JetSmart. The same day, Flydubai commit to order 175 Boeing 737 Max and 50 purchase rights for $ 27 billion at list prices: Max 8s, Max 9s and 50 Max 10s. In 2017, 874 commitments and options were announced including 15% firm, compared with 67 in 2015 and 684 in 2013, 74.9% from LCCs, 15.7% from lessors and 8.1% from mainline carriers.

1525-478: The A321LR on 13 January 2015 with Air Lease Corporation as the launch customer, hoping to sell 1,000 examples of the variant. The initial layout of 164 seats (20 in business, 30 in premium economy and 114 in economy) was replaced by a two-class 206-seat configuration (16 in business and 190 in economy). Range is 4,000 nmi (7,400 km; 4,600 mi), 500 nmi (930 km; 580 mi) greater than

1586-524: The A321ceo. By this time, the A321neo accounted for 32% of all A320neo family orders, whereas the original A321 represented just 22% of A320ceo family orders. By July 2022, the A321neo represented over 53% of all A320neo family orders. A stretch would probably involve fore and aft plugs to keep its centre of gravity , but tailstrike clearance could constrain field speed and performance, and a larger aircraft could require more powerful engines, while further cabin crew would be needed over 250 seats. In 2018,

1647-508: The A321neo list price was US$ 129.5 million. Competing with the Boeing NMA concept airliner would require stretching the A321neo by one or two rows: its take-off weight could be increased to 100 t (220,000 lb) by tweaking its wing and strengthening its landing gear, requiring more engine thrust; or it could receive a lighter and larger new wing, more costly to develop but with the same thrust. In October 2014, Airbus started marketing

1708-546: The A380 in the Middle East. It arrived in full Emirates livery for its largest customer. In 2013, 1,046 exhibitors came from 60 countries, drawing 60,692 trade attendees for a record $ 206.1 billion order book of aircraft, parts and MRO deals. The display presented 163 aircraft. Emirates made the highest price airliner order with $ 99 billion for 150 newly launched Boeing 777Xs plus 50 options and 50 Airbus A380s . Airbus displayed

One of the most notable is the A321neo's engine, with options for either CFM International's LEAP 1A, which is a joint venture between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines , or Pratt & Whitney PurePower PW1100G-JM. The A321neo has the same overall length as the A321ceo, with an increased fuel efficiency and performance rating. The A321neo has

2257-419: The competing narrow-body aircraft and even have slightly lower per-seat costs than its 294-seat A330-200s . The A321neo is a narrow-body (single aisle) aircraft with a retractable tricycle landing gear , powered by two wing pylon-mounted turbofan engines . It is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a conventional tail unit having a single vertical stabiliser and rudder. Changes from the A321ceo includes

2318-567: The equivalent of four 3,121 L (824 US gal) current Additional Centre Tanks (ACTs), yet has a weight equivalent to a single ACT and takes up the cargo hold space of two; a forward ACT can also be fitted if necessary. As the sharklets lowered take-off and landing speeds, the switch from a double- slotted to single-slotted inboard flap will reduce complexity, weight and drag. The FMS can set intermediate flap positions. The revised design could be applied to other A321neo variants. Orders from several lessors and airlines were announced at

2379-463: The first commercial airline customer to order the aircraft, on 22 June 2011, ordering 304 A321neo. The first A321neo entered commercial service with Virgin America in May 2017, who merged with Alaska Airlines in 2018; the latter also acquired all of Virgin's aircraft. Like the A321ceo, the final production of the aircraft takes place in Hamburg, Germany. With Airbus being a multinational company, parts of

The A321XLR was officially launched at the Paris Air Show on 17 June 2019, with deliveries at that time expected from 2023. Its design offers 4,700 nmi (8,700 km; 5,400 mi) of range and features a new permanent rear centre tank (RCT) for more fuel, strengthened landing gear for a 101 t (223,000 lb) MTOW, and an optimised wing trailing-edge flap to preserve take-off performance. The RCT will hold 12,900 L (3,400 US gal) of fuel,

3355-778: Was delivered in Hamburg to Virgin America, configured with 184 seats and LEAP engines, and entered service in May 2017. The neo empty weight is 1.8t greater than the ceo, due to its new engines and associated airframe modifications: engine pylons, wing structure and bleed and oil systems were adapted. At the same maximum weight, it reaches FL310 30-nm before and 4 min earlier than the ceo. At FL330 (10 000 m), ISA −2 °C (28 °F) and 67 t (148,000 lb), it burns 2,200 kilograms per hour (4,850 lb/h) at Mach 0.76 / 515 miles per hour (829 km/h) long-range cruise or 2,440 kg/h (5,400 lb/h) at Mach 0.80 / 542 miles per hour (872 km/h) high-speed cruise. To offer similar takeoff performance, pitch response to stick input

3416-860: Was delivered in Hamburg to Virgin America, configured with 184 seats and LEAP engines, and entered service on 31 May 2017. As Pratt & Whitney encountered early reliability issues with the PW1100G, retrofitting fixes affected the deliveries.
