I do not really understand you. At this point in time, the RP-C9933 flies all the way to Sydney. flightradar24 "lost" one plane RP-C9935. Instead, he shows Dash 8 Q300 which flies to Davao City. I already wrote to them

I already wrote to them I should've made myself more clear. I meant A321neo occasionally have to stop at Davao city to refueling. For example, look at this flight history for PR211, A321neo RP-C9936 had to stop at Davao City for refueling before went onto Sydney on Feb 12. For this particular flight, FR24 did not mistake A321neo to a Dash 8. www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/pr211#1f79fc51

Excuse me for the English. I use a translator. This is not true. All flights were non-stop. Flightradar24 showed landing in Davao-city when the flight was "lost" aircraft RP-C9935. Now they fixed it. But still RP-C9935 is missing. On other resources, it is present. For example planefinder.net/data/aircraft/RP-C9935

PR will only be flying the A321neo to Sydney for a few more months before the A330 takes over the route again. Not sure if it's performance related.
And for those looking at PR211/212 and looking at diversions, PR213/214 is another SYD-MNL flight operated by the A321

For sergey's question, I think it is more why airlines choose to fly the A321LR on shorter routes, than just why PR on a extremely long one. Answer I guess? Just airline's choice. For -LR operators, just to try the plane maybe as it is still a brand-new plane type / concept, before setting the frames on longer routes. Don't know if it happened yet with Arkia, but already TAP uses the LR on transatlantic flights and I think I read La Compagnie uses theirs there too. In general then, just airlines' choice, but not necessarily related to aircraft performance. For example, the A380 going to Muscat, the question could apply too, why fly the A380 to Muscat (348km) but an A220-300 from Riga to to AUH (4400km)? Just airlines' choices. When I used the A319LR from DOH to DAR last year, it was just 3818km, but according to wikipedia the longest route for a regular A319 is 4785km, MVD to BOG ( link). Why? Just airlines' choices.

All the flights that I cited (S7, PAL) were performed on the engines PW. Do not you think that this may be proof of the advantages in efficiency of the engine PW?

If this is true, than it means that most customers don't need the full range and prefer to have some more hull space, either to carry some freight or because they fear they cannot accomodate all passenger luggage if they install an additional ACT.

What is new, is the information, that the A321LR can accommodate 4 ACT. Up to now I have only heard about 3 and that fits with an advertised fuel capacity of 32,940 l for the LR. I assume that means usable fuel.
