## Overview

The Airbus A321-XLR is the newest addition to the Virtual Air Canada fleet, bringing extra-long-range narrow-body capability to our transatlantic network. With a range of 4,700 nautical miles, this aircraft is purpose-built for "long and thin" routes where widebody economics don't work, opening up new European destinations from Toronto and Montréal.

Virtual Air Canada's A321-XLR features 182 seats: 14 lie-flat business class seats in a 1-1 herringbone configuration and 168 economy seats in a 3-3 layout. When booking through the Pilot Portal, you'll find new SimBrief profiles and fleet options available.
