US Airways is reported to be in early talks with Airbus about whether the A321neo jet could be a replacement for the airline’s aging Boeing Co. (BA) 757s.
Although the talks are in a very informal stage, and the airline says it has no plans to order additional narrow-body aircraft, it eventually will have to decide on a 757 replacement.
US Airways’ 24 757s have an average age of about 18 years.
