On Monday (June 16, 2025), from the Paris Air Show 2025, Airbus announced that ANA Holdings has finalized an order for 27 aircraft, Including 24 A321neos and three A321XLRs.  All Nippon Airways (ANA) will receive 14 additional A321neos, while Peach Aviation will receive 10 A321neos and three A321XLRs.  Peach will become Japan’s first A321XLR operator, which has the longest range of any single aisle aircraft, flying  nonstop to 4,700 nautical miles (8,700km).  The order was finalized during a signing ceremony in Paris today with Koji Shibata, Representative Director, President and CEO of ANAHD, and Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business.

In Monday’s announcement, ANA HD’s President and CEO, Koji Shibata, said,

“We are delighted to have signed the firm order for the introduction of additional A321neo and first A321XLR into our group airlines.  We believe that this additional introduction of Airbus aircraft will further deepen our relationship.  We will accelerate the introduction of state-of-the-art and fuel-efficient aircraft to provide our passengers with excellent service and to reduce CO₂ emissions.”

Also commenting on ANA’s order, Airbus’ EVP Sales – Commercial Aircraft, Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, added,

“From its first order in 1987 to an order book now approaching 100 aircraft, ANA has been a long-standing customer for the A320 Family.  The exciting addition of the A321XLR for Peach Aviation further underscores ANA’s innovative spirit and trust in the A320 Family's unrivaled capabilities.  We are committed to providing our full support to ANA and Peach Aviation as their growing fleet is deployed on more routes across their networks.”

Currently, ANA operates 33 A320 Family aircraft, while Peach Aviation operates 36 A320 Family aircraft. The Airbus A321neo is part of the A320neo Family, incorporating the latest technologies including new generation engines, Sharklets and cabin efficiency enablers, which together deliver an over 20 percent reduction in fuel use and CO₂ emissions compared to previous generation single-aisle aircraft. 

The Airbus A321XLR introduces the flexibility to add capacity, to open new routes, or even to continue operating existing routes when demand is variable, all while burning 30 percent less fuel per seat than previous generation competitor aircraft.  The A321XLR’s new Airspace cabin will provide passengers long haul comfort in all classes.  To date, over 7,000 Airbus A321neo aircraft have been ordered by more than 90 customers worldwide.
