Airbus

Modern jets are built to last decades, but airlines often remove them from service long before reaching their design limits.

An ultra-long-range version of Airbus’ widebody jet is taking shape in Toulouse, France.

The type once made up over half the carrier’s fleet.

The Hungarian low-cost carrier’s striking color scheme has become a hallmark of budget travel across Europe.

The deal brings Vietjet’s commitment for the type to 280 jets.

The widebody jet flew from Zurich to Palma de Mallorca, Spain, on Saturday.

The airline will be the first U.S.-based carrier to operate the type.

The airline will phase out the aircraft as more A321neos come online.

The carrier will pull the superjumbo from one route while restoring service to another.

The purchase will help support the carrier’s international expansion.
