The Airbus A321LR, which flew on January 31, 2018, is a higher-capacity and longer-range A321neo variant designed to serve transcontinental and transatlantic routes.

Shown here taking off on its first flight, from Airbus Airport, Hamburg, the A321XLR is described by Airbus’ Yves Renard as a flexible airframe suitable for both short and long flights

The first Airbus A321neo completed its maiden flight from Hamburg, Germany, on February 9. 2016, marking another milestone in the A320neo family programme. The aircraft, registered D-AVXB (msn 6839), completed a five-hour, 29-minute flight during which tests were performed on the engine speed variation and systems behaviour and to validate the flight envelope. The aircraft will perform a partial flight test programme in the coming months to validate the impact on handling qualities, performance and systems. The first A321neo will be delivered at the end of 2016.

The A321LR, designed to be capable of flying non-stop between Europe and the United States, has been certified and its A350-900ULR stablemate has been delivered.

Many new commercial aircraft engines have been hit by development or in-service snags, forcing manufacturers to retrofit upgraded parts to their powerplants.

The first A321neo D-AVNO (msn 7877) fitted with the Airbus Cabin Flex layout to increase capacity to a maximum 240 passengers. Most of the A321neos ordered recently will be delivered with this configuration.
The graphic on the A321LR test aircraft D-AVZO (msn 7877) illustrates this A321neo subvariant’s range capability, but Airbus could be set to launch a further derivative with even longer range.

The Airbus A321LR, the long-range version of the A321neo due for service entry later this year, recently undertook a 4,750 nautical mile (8,797km) flight from Mahe in Seychelles to Toulouse as part of the variant's 100-flying-hour certification testing programme. Airbus said this is a new distance record for a single-aisle narrowbody. The flight followed A321LR hot weather testing performed at Sharjah International Airport in the United Arab Emirates. The A321LR's certification and service entry is expected later this year.
