Speedi Wings & Wheels - April / May 2019 - Page 5 By Steve Wood - Staff Writer Av News www.speedi.tv American Airlines launches A321neo service with new cabin, larger overhead luggage bins 2 April 2019 American Airlines is starting scheduled flights with the first of its 100 new Airbus A321neo aircraft on order. These aircraft come equipped with an all-new cabin interior designed for enhanced passenger comfort and convenience, including larger Airspace XL overhead luggage bins that increase carry-on bag capacity. American is the launch customer for the Airspace XL bins, which provide approximately 40 percent more overhead storage space for passengers on board the 196-seat aircraft. In addition to equipping its new A321neos with the XL bins, American also plans to retrofit its entire in-service fleet of earlier A321 models – more than 200 aircraft – with the cabin features included on the new A321neos. Ingo Wuggetzer, Airbus’ Vice President of Cabin Marketing said: “We are very pleased that American Airlines’ first A321neos with the Airspace XL bins are now entering service. We constantly work with airline customers to improve our aircraft cabins, and American in particular played an instrumental role with us in developing our biggest and best overhead bins to date.” The Airspace XL bins accommodate larger luggage – up 24” x 16” x 10” – allowing standard roll-on bags to be loaded on their sides instead of being inserted flat. This creates room for up to four bags in each bin instead of the current three. The larger bins will significantly reduce the number of passenger bags checked at the gate, and sent to the cargo hold. American‘s selected cabin layout allows the airline greater flexibility in seating arrangements and use of cabin space. The two class cabin will gain an additional row of first-class seats, bringing the total to 20. Outfitting the A321neo with a free wireless inflight-entertainment (IFE) system allows passengers to select a wide-range of options from their own devices. LED mood lighting will enhance the cabin environment. Powered by CFM LEAP-1A engines and ETOPS certified for lengthy over water flights, the A321neo will allow American to carry larger loads on its longer, more densely travelled routes such as Los Angeles and Phoenix to Orlando, or West Coast hubs to Hawaii. The A321neo is the largest member of the A320 Family, seating up to 240 passengers, depending on cabin configuration. Incorporating the latest engines, aerodynamic advances, and cabin innovations, the A321neo offers a reduction in fuel consumption of at least 15 percent per seat from day one and 20 percent by 2020 as well as a 50 percent noise reduction. ACJ319 is highlighted at ABACE show 8 April 2019 Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) is highlighting the ACJ319 at the ABACE[1] show, demonstrating the benefits of the best business jet cabin in the sky. The aircraft, which is being shown for the first time, is operated by EVA Airways and available for VVIP charter. It features a stylish Hermesdesigned cabin, two spacious lounges, a conference/dining area, a private office/bedroom with ensuite bathroom, and is certificated for 19 passengers. “Business jets are about having a great travel experience, as well as getting somewhere, and Airbus corporate jets deliver the widest and tallest cabin in an aircraft family that is modern, able to welcome large groups and economical,” says ACJ President Benoit Defforge. The new family comprises an ACJ319neo[2] that can fly eight passengers 15 hours or 6,750 nm/12,500 km, and an ACJ320neo that can transport 25 passengers 13 hours or 6,000 nm/11,100 km. ACJ has already won 13 orders and commitments for NEO family aircraft. ACJ is growing its ACJ320 Family with new models, which feature new engines and wingtip-mounted Sharklets to deliver a 15% fuelsaving, enabling nonstop travel in a great cabin to even more of the world. Airbus has won more than 15,000 firm orders for the whole A320 Family, and over 700 A320neo Family aircraft are already in service with airlines. Airbus’ A320 Family exemplifies features that are now standard in almost all new-generation business jets – such as enhanced-protection fly-by-wire controls, cost-saving centralised maintenance and weightsaving carbon fibre. It is complemented by the VVIP widebody ACJ330neo and ACJ350 XWB Families, which deliver even more capacity and nonstop-to-theworld range.
