The Airbus A321 is a single-aisle airliner developed by Airbus. It is the longest stretched fuselage of Airbus's A320 series and can typically seat 180 to 220 passengers in a two-class configuration, with up to 244 passengers in a high-density arrangement. The A321neo, which stands for "new engine option," is an improved and more fuel-efficient version of the A321ceo, with new engines and sharklets as standard. The A321neo was announced by Airbus in December 2010 and has the longest fuselage of any Airbus narrow-body airliner.
