LATAM Airlines has taken delivery of its first
A321neo leased from AerCap and placed an order for 13 additional
A321neo aircraft.
The delivery is the first of a committed backlog
of 76 A321neo aircraft.
LATAM’s newly delivered A321neo can seat up to 224 passengers and features Airbus’ Airspace
XL bins in the cabin. The larger bins provide a 40% increase in
storage space and facilitates 60% more carry-on bags, allowing a
more relaxed boarding experience for passengers and crew.
The newly delivered A321neo flew to its destination with 49%
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

aircraft to be delivered.
“We thank LATAM for their continued
confidence in our aircraft, reselecting the A321neo for its
continued network growth. This strategic move also accelerates
LATAM decarbonisation trajectory as the A321neos are at least 20%
more fuel-efficient, emitting 20% less CO2 and 50% less noise
compared to previous generation aircraft,” said Christian Scherer,
Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Airbus International.
