Anyone seen the first LR frame for this airline? I thought I saw one about but not sure if it has engines.

Strange, the A321LR was never planned to be delivered before Q4/2018 (there was a "shift" since program launch to 1st flight, but from 2019 to Q4/18.). So how could Primera plan with one and blame for late delivery?
Do Airwaysmag mixed it up with standard NEOs?

As long as I know Primera Air is blaming Airbus for late Deliveries overall (hence they had to cut/delay flights), not necessarily for the LR. |

They fly London STN-East Coast with their new A321NEOs, but sometimes they have to switch to an 738 doing stops in KEF for both directions. |

They have 5 A321 neos, probably they expected to get them all before the start of the summer operation but MSN 8318 delivered only in July 6, MSN 8288 on July 31 and MSN 8312 on August 14. Even the neos with CFM have delayed a bit.
These ones that are doing TATL flights must have 2 additional central tanks, right?

I would imagine the NEO's will be their most popular assets in the market.

It's always sad to see an airline go down. Delays in aircraft delivery may have played a part (?), but a dubious project and/or a poor management are other likely suspects.
