DALLAS — Today, Keflavik-based Icelandair (FI) became the latest Airbus operator with the delivery of the first A321LR for the airline.

The flag carrier of Iceland has leased four A321LR aircraft from SMBC Aviation Capital Limited and will also receive 13 A321XLRs as part of its fleet renewal process.

The Airbus A321LR has an extended range of up to 4,000 nautical miles and delivers at least 20% fuel savings and CO₂ reduction compared to previous generation single-aisle aircraft, which makes it suitable for transatlantic routes.

Powered by Pratt & Whitney GTF engines, the A321LR has 187 seats in a two-class configuration and features XL bins for more stowage space. It offers advanced gate-to-gate connectivity, next-generation inflight entertainment, and a lighting system that enhances passenger "well-being."
