+Press Release: Airbus A321XLR receives EASA type certification]]
+The Airbus A321XLR has recently achieved significant milestones on its path to certification and entry into service:
+    Functional and Reliability Testing (FnR): Airbus initiated an international flight-test campaign for the A321XLR, known as FnR or “Route Proving.” This campaign aims to demonstrate the aircraft’s systems maturity well before it enters service. The goal is approximately 100 hours of flying time over 10 days, with no systems power-down. Real airline cabin and flight crews, along with Airbus test pilots and engineers, are gaining hands-on experience during these flights. The aircraft used for these missions is MSN 11080, one of the dedicated flight test prototypes equipped with a full cabin interior.
+    EASA Type Certification: The A321XLR, powered by CFM LEAP-1A engines, has received its Type Certification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). This certification paves the way for the aircraft’s entry into service by the end of the summer.
+    Final Stages of Certification: Airbus has stated that the A321XLR is in the final stages of certification. After a five-year certification campaign, the process should be completed imminently, with the manufacturer certifying CFM International LEAP-1A-powered A321XLRs. Certification of Pratt & Whitney PW1100G-powered A321XLR aircraft will follow in due time.
