June 17 (UPI) -- Airbus on Monday unveiled a new version of its A321 at the Paris Air Show, saying the new airliner has a longer range than the old model and offers "unbeatable fuel efficiency."
The French plane maker showed off its new A321XLR at Le Bourget Airport, and said it has a range 15 percent further than the current A321. The added range means the jetliner could fly routes from India to Europe, China to Australia or Europe to the Americas at a lower operational cost, the company said.
