It’s unclear whether the FAA’s latest fuel tank concerns will merely delay the introduction of the A321XLR, at least for U.S. airlines and transatlantic service, or whether it will mean less fuel capacity and range for the aircraft – meaning that it winds up less useful for the airlines that have ordered it.

Hero Flight Attendant Steps In To Halt Violent Brawl On Spirit Airlines Flight To Boston

A United Airlines passenger wonders what to do when the man sitting next to them has his arm resting on theirs.
