Sales chief Christian Scherer told a news briefing ahead of the June 17-23 event that the current longest-range A321 variant, the A321LR, had a range of 4,000 nautical miles and added “hint, hint, hint, maybe soon a little more”. The aim of the plane, whose development was first reported by Reuters, is also to narrow the available market for a possible new middle-market jet that Boeing is contemplating as a replacement for its out-of-production 757 and 767.
Airbus officials avoided directly attacking arch-rival Boeing at a news conference ahead of the world’s largest air show as the U.S. company’s competing 737 MAX remains grounded for a third month.
