The Airbus A321 is part of the A320 family of narrow-body passenger aircraft intended for medium-haul airlines. This model is the "largest" in its family - the A321 is longer than the original model, the A320, by almost seven meters. This allows the aircraft to carry 24 percent more passengers. It also has a more reinforced chassis. The flight radius, when fully loaded, is the same as that of the youngest member of the family - Airbus A318.

 A321 indicators in terms of noise, emissions and fuel consumption are almost the same as in the entire A320 series. The aircraft is equipped with EFIS avionics and a fly-by-wire digital control system that is completely identical to the A320 aircraft.

Today version A321 collected at the enterprise is located in a small German airport Hamburg Finkenwerder Airport, unlike A320 that are going mostly in the French town of Toulouse.
