Taipei,\u00a030 November 2021<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0China Airlines (CAL) has become the latest operator of the A321neo, following the delivery of its first aircraft of the type, on lease from Air Lease Corporation\u00a0(ALC, NYSE: AL<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aircraft operated with a blend of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). SAF provides a reduction of up to 80% in carbon emissions over its lifecycle, compared to traditional jet fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aircraft is powered by Pratt & Whitney PW1100G engines and seats 180 passengers in a two-class layout. The A321neo incorporates the Airbus Cabin Flex, which enables optimal use of space by relocating various fixtures and fittings, providing the highest levels of passenger comfort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAL\u2019s A321neo will be able to fly on routes of up to seven hours from Taipei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAL\u2019s A321neos also come with a Cargo Loading System that enables container cargo operations, further reinforcing the airline and Taipei\u2019s position as a global air freight hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Altogether CAL will acquire 25 A321neo aircraft, comprising 11 directly ordered from Airbus and 14 under lease agreements. The A321neo will form the core of CAL\u2019s single-aisle fleet and offers cockpit commonality with CAL\u2019s existing A330 and A350 aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The A321neo is a member of the A320neo Family, which offers the widest single-aisle cabin in the sky and incorporates the latest technologies, including new-generation engines and Sharklets, delivering a 20 per cent reduction in fuel consumption per seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of October 2021, the A320neo Family had won more than 7,500 firm orders from over 120 customers worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
