1042United plans to retrofit new Polaris and Premium Plus seats on its next-generation Airbus A321XLR narrowbody aircraft, expecting to take delivery of the first model in 2024, with most orders to be delivered in 2025. In December 2019, United placed an order for 50 Airbus A321XLR aircraft, part of which will be used to replace older narrowbodies for international flights. With the introduction of Premium Plus, United plans a 3-class cabin on its A321XLRs in an estimated 180-seat configuration. United will be replacing part of the Boeing 757-200s that operate international flights with Airbus A321XLRs, although this model will not replace the Boeing 767s. United currently offers more premium seats than any other U.S. carrier, so perhaps United would launch a revolutionary product on its new A321XLRs?
