VEEPOKER Jon Hemmerdinger (30 January 2018). "Hawaiian predicts big unit cost advantage from A321neos". David Kaminski-Morrow (12 February 2018). "A321LR prepares for Paris-New York test flight". The timeline from development to first flight took 6 years, relatively short due to its nature as an improvement, as opposed to a clean-sheet designed aircraft. With Airbus being a multinational company, parts of the aircraft came from different countries throughout Europe and America. The first flight took place on 15 June 2022 from Hamburg. Premium Aerotec will manufacture the specific aft centre fuel tank primary structure, Spirit AeroSystems will build the inboard single-slotted flap, FACC AG will produce a modified belly fairing, while Collins Aerospace and Parker Aerospace are developing the fuel systems. In April 2019, JetBlue announced its intention to use the A321LR on routes to London from Boston and New York-JFK; the airline has converted 13 of its orders for the A321neo to the A321LR to serve these routes.|Pertempuran Lapangan Udara Henderson
