SAS’s first Airbus A321 Long Range will enter service on 27th March, 2022. The A321LR is part of SAS’s ongoing fleet renewal programme, which will replace aircraft with more fuel-efficient models. The long range of the aircraft gives SAS the opportunity to fill a smaller aircraft on new routes, rather than fly empty seats on a widebody, and gives more flexibility to adjust to changes in the demand for new routes and destinations.
