At long last, American Airlines has set a date for the debut of its newest, premium-heavy plane.
Just before the holidays, the Fort Worth-based carrier will inaugurate service on its first-ever Airbus A321XLR, a single-aisle aircraft that will sport its newest-generation Flagship Suites — along with a bona fide premium economy cabin and the fuel efficiency required to criss-cross the Atlantic Ocean.
Anticipated since American first placed its order for 50 of the XLR jets in the late 2010s, American on Wednesday took delivery of its first such aircraft, which arrived to the airline's Texas headquarters from Airbus' facility in Hamburg, Germany.
