The A321LR brings widebody comfort to single-aisle flying, offering two private First Class suites, 14 fully-flat, window-facing Business seats with direct aisle access, and 144 generously spaced Economy seats all with 4K screens and high-speed Wi-Fi.
“With the introduction of our new A321LR, we are able to offer a truly world-class experience on more routes and at greater frequency, making it easier than ever for guests from around the world to discover everything our home has to offer. Every enhancement we’ve made this year reflects our commitment to welcoming more travellers to Abu Dhabi with the highest levels of comfort and care.” Antonoaldo Neves added.
