Qantas’ first Airbus A321XLR, the all-new extra long range version of the popular single-aisle jet, has been painted in the Qantas livery.

The first of four aircraft the carrier will receive this calendar year, the inaugural Airbus A321XLR will be delivered to the Flying Kangaroo in June.

Qantas is one of the first airlines in the world to operate the A321XLR and the jet offers more comfortable Economy seats, a 66 per cent increase in Business seats, a quieter flight, long and wide spacious cabin, extra-large overhead lockers and fast free WiFi.
