Crossing the Atlantic, for many years now, has been made possible by high-capacity twin-aisle jets or pushing aging, single-aisle workhorses past their prime. With United Airlines accepting its first Airbus A321XLR, registered as N64321, the carrier quietly brought about a complete redefinition of the traditional mechanics of long-haul aviation. Deploying a narrowbody aircraft across multi-hour oceanic corridors may seem counterintuitive at first glance, especially given historical expectations of intercontinental comfort. However, this deployment shows that carriers can extract profit from thin routes without risking widebody over-capacity.
