Arkia Israeli Airlines; Takes delivery of world’s first long-range Airbus A321LR

ARIKA, a Tel Aviv based Israeli Airlines whose primary owner is Jordache Enterprises, received the delivery for their very first A321LR aircraft. This aircraft is the world’s first most flexible and large single-aisle aircraft.

The delivery of this first A321LR was primarily to be recovered by Primera Airlines but before the delivery even happened, the airlines went bankrupt.

A321LR aircraft come from the best selling A321 aircraft Family. This aircraft is capable of making flexible flights for long-range operations for over 4000 nautical miles. This allows the airline to tap into the long haul flights for the single-aisle aircraft which was previously inaccessible in the whole world.

The cabin configuration for this new LR aircraft offers each of the passengers with more space to have comfortable journeys.

For the single class layout, Airlines will be providing 220 seats per flight.

A321LR belongs to the best selling A321 aircraft family which is one of the best selling single-aisle aircraft in the world. There are more than 6100 orders placed by 100 customers since they were launched back in 2010. The aircraft are also popular due to their new generation engines that are effective in saving fuel costs.
