A variant of the new Airbus A321XLR, powered by Pratt & Whitney engines, has received type certification by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). 

On February 21, 2025, the European aerospace giant announced that, following extensive testing, the path is now clear for the Pratt & Whitney-powered A321XLR to enter service later this year.  

The Airbus A321XLR variant, with CFM LEAP-1A engines, achieved EASA type certification in July 2024, and deliveries of the first few aircraft were made to Iberia and Aer Lingus during the following six months.
