Aircraft / Airbus A321-200
JStream Original Aircraft Template
A member of the 1st generation Airbus A320ceo family, the Airbus A321-200 - also known as the Airbus A321ceo - is a six-abreast, narrow-body, medium range twin-engine jet airliner produced by Airbus SE, a European multinational aerospace manufacturer headquartered at Blagnac (Toulouse), France.
Introduced in 1994 as a competitor to the Boeing 757-100 and Boeing 737-900, the Airbus A321-200 is a stretched fuselage version of the Airbus A320-200 airliner, also known as the Airbus A320ceo. Other than being 6.93 m / 22 ft 9 in longer, having 4 full sized exit doors and carrying more passengers than the A320, the Airbus A321ceo is visually nearly identical to its sibling aircraft, sharing the same engine and winglet options as the A320 as well as a common pilot type rating. Airbus also offered A321neo customers the option of installing either one or two additional fuel tanks in the rear underfloor hold area, which slightly increased the aircraft’s range while slightly reducing its cargo capacity.
Production of the Airbus A321-200 ended in December 2021, after a total of 1,784 units were built. The A321ceo was superseded by the newer generation Airbus A321neo. The A321-200 was offered by default only as a passenger aircraft. There were no factory built freighter versions of the A321, although P2F (passenger to freighter) programs are available for customers to convert passenger A321-200s into an Airbus A321P2F or Airbus A321F cargo aircraft.
