Airbus SE (OTC:EADSY) has achieved Type Certification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for its A321XLR equipped with CFM LEAP-1A engines.

This milestone paves the way for the aircraft's entry into service by the end of summer.

The Type Certificate was formally presented by Florian Guillermet, Executive Director of EASA, to Isabelle Bloy, Chief Engineer of the A321XLR program.

Certification for the Pratt & Whitney engine variant is scheduled for later in 2024.

The A321XLR complements widebody aircraft within an airline's fleet, offering flexibility to increase capacity, open new routes, or maintain service on existing routes in response to varying demand.

It boasts a 30% reduction in fuel consumption per seat compared to previous-generation competitors and approximately half the trip cost of contemporary widebodies.

The A321XLR's Airspace cabin ensures long-haul comfort for passengers across all classes.

The inaugural A321XLR took its maiden flight in June 2022, marking the beginning of a comprehensive test program that included three test aircraft.

To date, orders for the Airbus A321XLR have exceeded 500 units.
