Airbus’ game-changing A321XLR will enter service soon. These airlines have already announced routes with the new plane, including 3 to the US.

Outside the US, Icelandair plans to use the A321XLR as a 757 replacement across the Atlantic. The airline revealed in its 2023 annual report nine potential cities the new jet could serve, like Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Houston, and Cancún.

Rival carriers in Australia — mainline Qantas and low-cost Jetstar — plan to use the narrowbody jet to fly further into Asia. Qantas’ list of potential A321XLR routes includes routes like Brisbane to Tokyo, Perth to the Maldives, and Melbourne to Bangkok.

South American low-cost airline JetSMART — expected to be the first A321XLR customer in Latin America — said in March the new plane could allow it to offer cheap flights between Chile and Miami.
