Sorry to bother with this question… But I am searching and can't seem to find anything about it…
Varying sources, including Airbus and good old Wiki report one delivery of an A321CJ frame to someone.
Does anyone know who and when?
Only one ordered and delivered, so just more a curiosity as I have never heard of nor seen anything of one.
Thanks if anyone has any info.

Comlux Malta took delivery April 2013 (http://www.planespotters.net/Production_List/Airbus/A321/5538,UP-A2101-Comlux-KZ.php).

You can't put aux tanks into the A321. Waste of time really.

A few jerry cans and a bit of garden hose? Maybe? :p
You can't put aux tanks into the A321 Airbus say you can.... they offered us the A321 with 1 or 2 ACT's.
* 2 ACT installed on position 31 + 32 - further limitation according actual fuel load in ACT
** 1 ACT installed on position 31 As per the Cargo Loading diagrams in the A320/321 Ground Operational Manual
"You can't put aux tanks into the A321. Waste of time really."
We have had 2 ACT in our 321 for years. Works fine

Yup - you can I was wrong but am I not right in thinking that2 ACTs still gives you less than 4,000nm?
The A321 is the largest narrow body corporate jet with a full passenger range of 4,590 nautical miles (8,500 km).
Reference Global Business Jet Yearbook - Airbus ACJ321 (http://www.gbjyearbook.com/yb_aircraftpage.html?recnum=ACJ321)
But of course it will depend on the weight of the interior and number of seats.
The ACJ321 is the first of the type ever completed. This aircraft was given an extremely strict timeline for redelivery and it was not only delivered on time, but it also beat both the weight and sound targets, such as every ACJ/BBJ completed in Comlux America. Combined with the sharklets installation, the weight reduction allows an increase in the range performance of the aircraft by reducing its fuel burn. It looks like the Comlux aircraft is for an Asian customer.
