Today Virgin America took delivery of the worlds first A321neo. This is the first of 1385 orders for the A321neos. This is also the first of many neo’s for VX (AS).
The next customer for the A321neo is expected to be China Southern Airlines with either Sri Lankan, Qatar Airways or Wow Air.
The aircraft will enter service on May 31st flying from San Fransisco to Washington Ronald Reagan Airport.
Undeniable how truly amazing this plane looks! Congrats to Airbus and Virgin America. Hopefully because of the new merge, even though it’s far off, we see it remain in this livery rather than Alaskan.
Very big milestone not only for Airbus but the entire aviation industry. I think in the coming years leading up to 2020 we are going to see a lot of advancements in aviation, from the way planes are designed to the instruments they are equipped with.
