British Airways Fleet Airbus A321-200 Details and Pictures

British Airways Fleet Airbus A321-200 Details and Pictures. Today British Airways operated 18 narrow-body aircraft Airbus A321-200.

The Airbus A321-200 is a single aisle, twin-engine jet manufactured by Airbus Industrie, the European consortium.

It is part of the Airbus A320 family (A318, A319, A320, A321), the world’s best selling aircraft line.

Compared with the A320, the A321’s obvious difference is the stretched fuselage.

Other less visible changes include more powerful engines, a strengthened undercarriage and larger tyres, all to cope with the extra weight of the aircraft.

About 50 tons of air passes through the engines of the A321 every minute; the equivalent to over 50,000 people exhaling at the same time.

The seats of the 8th row are not reclining as behind them exit row is located.

Passengers of the seats 9AC and 9DEF will take advantage of extra legroom however the width of these seats is slightly reduced as the tray tables are in the armrests making them immovable.

The seats of the 22nd row do not recline because of another exit row located behind.

The seats of the 23rd row are considered best seats as well as the seats of the 9th row having the same advantage, i.e. extra space for passengers’ legs and the same disadvantage as reduced seat width.
