Last week, JetBlue announced an order for 13 Airbus A321XLR aircraft. The aircraft are slated for delivery beginning in 2023 and support JetBlue’s goal to provide more European destinations to its passengers. Additionally, JetBlue plans to add 10 A220-300 aircraft to its fleet starting 2025.
“The incredible extended range of the A321XLR allows us to evaluate even more overseas destinations as we think about JetBlue’s expansion into European markets plagued by high premium fares and subpar service,” said Robin Hayes, chief executive officer, JetBlue. “Increasing our firm order for A220 aircraft gives us a valuable tool to support our network strategy in the Americas and continue to build our focus cities with an airplane that offers incredible economics and range. Both the XLR and the A220 ensure we remain committed to meeting financial targets with disciplined growth.”
The Airbus A321XLR aircraft was introduced at the Paris Air Show earlier in the month. It features an increased range of more than 600 nautical miles in comparison to the Airbus A321LR aircraft. It opens JetBlue’s future destination options to cities in south, central and northern Europe.

Sep 17, 2026High-Spirited Hong Kong: The Dynamic Hub Embraces Its Maritime History and Culture
It was known as the “Kai Tak heart attack” — the thrilling, terrifying final approach into Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport. Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately. Their cruise ships dock smoothly at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, a modern gateway designed by Sir Norman Foster.
