Montreal-based Air Transat took delivery of its first of 15 Airbus A321LRs as part of a fleet renewal that will see the leisure carrier convert to an all-Airbus fleet by 2022. The Pratt & Whitney PW1100G-powered narrowbodies come equipped with an entirely redesigned two-class, 199-seat cabin, with 187 seats in economy and 12 premium seats. The aircraft marks delivery of the fourth of Airbus’s long-range A321neos.
