Qantas Orders 20 New A321XLR Aircraft, Introducing Lie-Flat Business Seats
Qantas Airways Ltd. has announced a significant expansion of its fleet with an order for an additional 20 Airbus A321XLR aircraft. This acquisition marks a milestone as it includes the introduction of lie-flat Business seats on Qantas' narrowbody aircraft for the first time. Of the 20 new aircraft, 16 will feature these premium seats along with seat back entertainment screens, aimed at enhancing passenger comfort on longer routes such as transcontinental services from Perth and various short and medium haul international routes. The new A321XLRs, which will begin arriving in 2028, will bring Qantas' total order for this next-generation aircraft to 48. This expansion not only supports Qantas' corporate market between Perth and the east coast of Australia but also opens new possibilities for routes to South East Asia, India, and beyond.
