A321 NEO LR Range Performance
Hi everyone,
We see more and more articles about the A321 NEO LR and the potential new transatlantic routes.
Recently we had the 4109 NM flight of the A321 NEO LR prototype from SEZ to TLS (4750 NM Air Distance). Airbus said it was with 160 dummies passengers + 11 flights crew and technicians.
Primera Air is the first airline operating the A321 NEO LR, they have a cabin configuration as below :
16J
182Y
Which is more or less 20 Tonnes payload.
What in real world operations should be the max route range for the A321 NEO LR with a 20 Tonnes payload (and indeed 3 ACTs)?
3600NM?
3800 NM?
4000 NM?
More?
Thanks for your feedback.
