LatinVFR A321Neo PHILIPPINE AIRLINES (LEAP)
The Airbus A321neo is the most efficient single-aisle jetliner ever built. Its stretched fuselage – measuring 146 feet or 23 feet longer than the A320 – makes the A321 the longest and widest (12 feet, 1 inch) among all single-aisle aircraft. On August 28, 2012, Philippine Airlines ordered 10 Airbus A321neos equipped with two Pratt & Whitney PW1000G engines. The airline, in total, ordered 34 A321s of both the current (CEO) and new engine option (NEO) variants.[17] On March 29, 2015, the airline announced that it will be receiving the A321neo starting 2017. However, the aircraft's delivered was delayed to May 2018 due to problems with the Pratt & Whitney engines.[18] PAL received its first A321neo (new engine option) on June 1, 2018[19] while the other five A321neos were delivered until December 2018. The remaining fifteen A321neos in the SR variant, on the other hand, will be delivered in the following years.[20] However, PAL only received two A321neo SRs in 2019 as the airline revises its re-fleeting plan.[21] The first 6 Airbus A321neos will serve Philippine Airlines' medium-haul and long-haul routes such as Guam, Singapore, Tokyo, Ho Chi Minh City, Sapporo, Brisbane and Sydney,[22] while the other SR variants will be serving short-haul regional routes in Southeast Asia and other neighboring countries
