Frontier Airlines has announced its intent to convert 18 Airbus A320neo family aircraft on order to 18 Airbus A321XLR aircraft.
The A321XLR is Airbus’ newest addition to the A320 family of aircraft and is the longest-range single-aisle aircraft, with unsurpassed fuel efficiency.
“Today’s announcement marks another milestone in Frontier’s tremendous growth story,” said Barry Biffle, president and CEO of Frontier Airlines. “Our long-standing relationship with Airbus has made Frontier America’s most fuel-efficient airline, with the youngest fleet in the U.S. The A321XLR will enable Frontier to offer coast to coast service and explore exciting international and domestic opportunities, such as Hawaii, while continuing to deliver ‘Low Fares Done Right’ to our customers.”
The addition of these aircraft to the fleet will allow Frontier to grow in new and existing markets and provide even more compelling low fares, the airline says.
Frontier expects to take delivery of its first A321XLR aircraft in 2024.
