Airbus A-321neo

The Airbus A321neo is the largest member of the re-engined A320neo family, seating up to around 240 passengers in a single aisle. Combined with new engines and Sharklet wingtips, it offers enough range to fly routes once reserved for larger widebody jets, a niche often called 'middle of the market'. Long-range versions can cross the Atlantic non-stop, letting airlines open new routes without a bigger aircraft. It has become one of Airbus's most successful models, with a large order backlog from airlines worldwide.
