American Airlines Welcomes New Airbus A321 Transcontinental Aircraft

Will Fly Non-Stop Routes From New York To California

American Airlines has introduced their new Airbus A321T, the first of what will become a dedicated three-class fleet operating on transcontinental flights between New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), and JFK and San Francisco International Airport (SFO). American will initially operate the A321T between New York and Los Angeles, and will introduce the new plane between New York and San Francisco in March. American is the only U.S. carrier to offer three classes of service between these key markets.

"Our best customers in New York and Los Angeles are eager to experience this new aircraft as it's going to be an important differentiator for us in the transcon market," said Andrew Nocella, senior vice president and chief marketing officer – American Airlines. "The A321T is just the latest example of American's commitment to offering state-of-the-art products, and delivering an inflight experience our customers really value."

The airplanes feature fully lie-flat seats in First and Business Class – including all aisle-access for First Class customers. For all customers, every seat offers a personal in-seat entertainment system with features including 3D moving maps and options of up to 200 movies, 180 TV programs, more than 350 audio selections and up to 20 games. Gogo's upgraded air-to-ground Wi-Fi technology (ATG4) is available throughout the aircraft, and each seat has access to both a universal AC power port and a USB port.
