Peach Aviation will become the first Japanese airline to operate the A321XLR, which has the longest range of any single aisle aircraft, flying up to 4,700nm / 8,700 km non-stop.

“We are delighted to have signed the firm order for the introduction of additional A321neo and first A321XLR into our group airlines. We believe that this additional introduction of Airbus aircraft will further deepen our relationship,” said Koji Shibata. “We will accelerate the introduction of state-of-the-art and fuel-efficient aircraft to provide our passengers with excellent service and to reduce CO ₂ emissions.”

The exciting addition of the A321XLR for Peach Aviation further underscores ANA's innovative spirit and trust in the A320 Family's unrivaled capabilities," said Benoît de Saint-Exupéry. “We are committed to providing our full support to ANA and Peach Aviation as their growing fleet is deployed on more routes across their networks.”
