iscoverIn a week Jetstar outlined the cabin configuration and delivery details of its soon-to-arrive next-generation Airbus A321LRs, this story from the Australian Aviation archives is from November 2009, when Ellis Taylor wrote about entry into service of the A321 into the low-cost carrier’s operations.
While it has presented some challenges to its operating model, the growing fleet of Jetstar Airbus A321s is carving out a valuable niche in Qantas subsidiary’s expanding network, particularly on longer routes.

says:Interesting to read that when the article was first written in 2009 it mentions Jetstar having received the first two, of seventeen, A321s! Ten years later the Jetstar A321 fleet numbers eight of the type.
The order for brand new A321neos arriving in 2020 should see the type numbers increase towards that decade old fleet goal in less than a decade from now!
Also the article describes the A321 having a 213 seat, all economy configuration. Jetstar’s website indicate either 220 or 230 seats are now fitted to the type.
It’s called progress….I guess?!
