Charter of an Airbus ACJ321neo/XLR starts at $18,000 to $28,000 per flight hour. Airbus Corporate Jets introduced the ACJ321neo/XLR in 2019 on the A321neo/XLR commercial platform. It carries up to 70 passengers across an 8,000 nm range at 450 knots with a maximum takeoff weight of 222,667 lbs. The 117.0-foot cabin measures 11.6 feet wide and 7.3 feet tall, with 1,100 cubic feet of baggage. Two CFM LEAP-1A engines power the aircraft to a 41,000-foot ceiling at 2,700 fpm climb. Cabin pressurization holds a 6,000-foot equivalent altitude at cruise. Hogani Jets coordinates ACJ321neo/XLR charters through licensed operators.

The Airbus ACJ321neo/XLR is the apex of the Airbus narrow-body VIP category. No other Airbus narrow-body VIP airliner matches it on range, cabin length, or passenger capacity. At $18,000 to $28,000/hr, it costs $12,000 to $17,000/hr less than the Boeing 747-8 VIP for comparable long-range intercontinental capability.

With 70 passengers and an 8,000 nm range, the ACJ321neo/XLR handles missions that previously required a widebody. The XLR (Extra Long Range) designation reflects the additional rear center fuel tank that extends range beyond the standard ACJ321neo platform.

The ACJ321neo/XLR uses CFM LEAP-1A engines on the A321neo/XLR commercial platform. The XLR variant adds a structural rear center tank that extends range significantly over the standard A321neo. This is the longest-range and longest-cabin Airbus narrow-body VIP airliner.

The Airbus ACJ321neo/XLR is a VIP airliner introduced in 2019. It carries up to 70 passengers across an 8,000 nm range at 450 knots. Two CFM LEAP-1A engines power the aircraft to a 41,000-foot service ceiling. MTOW is 222,667 pounds, climb rate is 2,700 fpm, and cabin noise is 62 dBa.

The standard ACJ321neo and the XLR variant share the same airframe, engines, and cabin dimensions. Three things distinguish the XLR.

Rear center tank: The XLR adds a structural rear center fuel tank unique to this variant. This is not a removable auxiliary tank but a permanent structural element. It provides the fuel capacity to reach 8,000 nm without altering the cabin or passenger experience.

Structure: The landing gear, wing reinforcement, and fuselage are strengthened to handle the higher MTOW of 222,667 pounds. This supports the additional fuel weight of the rear center tank across all operating conditions.

Range: Published range extends to 8,000 nm, placing the ACJ321neo/XLR above the ACJ319/neo (6,750 nm) and ACJ320/neo (6,000 nm). This makes it the only Airbus narrow-body VIP airliner capable of transpacific reach in a single-stage VIP configuration.

The Airbus ACJ321neo/XLR entered service in 2019 on the A321neo/XLR commercial platform. The XLR variant adds a structural rear center tank extending range to 8,000 nautical miles. Two CFM LEAP-1A engines power the aircraft. The 117.0-foot cabin is the longest in the Airbus narrow-body VIP category.

The ACJ321neo/XLR leads the Airbus narrow-body VIP family across all three key metrics: range, cabin length, and passenger capacity.

The ACJ321neo/XLR adds 19 feet of cabin, 1,250 nm of range, and 20 more passengers over the ACJ320/neo at $2,000 to $4,000/hr more. For missions where 117.0 feet of cabin and 8,000 nm range justify the premium, the ACJ321neo/XLR is the definitive narrow-body choice.

The ACJ321neo/XLR cabin spans 117.0 feet across a fully configurable single-deck layout. Every interior is completed to individual owner specification by third-party VIP completion centers.
