And from CH Aviation. Quote "Icelandair (FI, Reykjavik Keflavik) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Airbus to order thirteen A321-200NY(XLR)s with a further 12 options, and plans to additionally source at least four A321-200NX(LR)s from lessors to replace its B757 fleet. Deliveries of the (XLR)s from the manufacturer will begin in 2029. However, the first four (LR)s are expected to join the fleet in 2025. Icelandair said it was in "advanced negotiations" regarding the first four units, while "further additions can be expected in the years thereafter".

This is big news from and for Icelandair. It was one of the most loyal Boeing users.
It also spells the death of the NMA, because if Icelandair gives up to wait for it, it is a sure sign, that the NMA will never come.
I expect the A321 to replace all the passenger 757-200, 757-300 and 767-300.

Delivery is scheduled for 1Q26, the airline’s fifth A321LR from SMBC. In July 2023, Icelandair signed a contract with Airbus for up to 25 Airbus A321XLRs. A deal was also announced with SMBC for four A321LRs at that time. The first A321LR is scheduled to be delivered this year...." Full Article - airinsight.com/icelandair-adds-another-a321lr/ |
