This is very new to me?....... a380.boards.net/post/38054/threadEasyjet isn't known to have expressed interest for the LR version?... How could they also could get ahead of everyone having ordered it already?..... I doubt this is a LR version. It is indeed a ACF (Airbus cabin flex) A321neo but, as we already discussed, the operator can use the additional MTOW either for range or payload, and one would expect Easyjet to use it for payload. If this aircraft is in a 236-pax configuration as I read on this forum, then it is not a LR, it is a densely configured ACF A3231neo, perfectly fitting the needs of a low-cost airline. Fabien, now that the ACF version is available, customers can in principle pick it for their next delivery slots, though in practice I suppose production of ACF fuselages is being ramped up progressively until this version becomes the new standard (in 2020 I believe).

To clarify...the -NX is the ACF version?

Yes, -NX is ACF, and the ACF could imply either LR or High Density as said by philidor
