1995 - 2002

 




 

Like the shortened A319, the A321 is a minimum change, in this case stretched, development of the successful A320. The A321 program was launched in November 1989 and the first development aircraft first flew on March 11 1993. European certification was awarded in December that year. Compared with the A320 the A321's major change is the stretched fuselage, with forward and rear fuselage plugs totalling 6.93m (22ft 9in) (front plug immediately forward of wing 4.27m/14ft, rear plug directly behind the wing 2.67m/8ft 9in).
Swissair ordered and operated a total of twelve A321's, along with company A320's and A319's. Swissair was the first airline to fly all of the (then) three members of the A320 family.
After Swissair's collapse only a few aircraft went to Swissairs Successor, Swiss International, because the aircraft proved to be too big for the swiss market.
