Sri Lankan just filed A321neo operations effective July 2017 so if all else fails with China Southern and Virgin America/Alaska, that should be your stop gate!

SAS is having another LEAP engine replaced:

SE-DOX (7489) has been grounded at ARN since 5 April, anyone know what the problem might be?

Engine replacement due to oil system contamination by metallic particles. 2nd engine removal for SES.

pugman211 · Fri Apr 14, 2017 8:49 am

I didn't realise there had been any engine changes for the leap. I thought the only issue was with the doors being pinned open?

So both suppliers are having issues.

Pratt also had metal in the oil issues which preceded bigger issues.

I too missed this issue. Both engines pushed bearing/rotor technology. Pratt went higher on relative bearing velocity. CFM went high on relative bearing velocity, but not as high as Pratt; but the LEAP is hotter overall, so I assume that is true of the bearings.

From the looks of this pic, it almost appears that there wouldn't be enough room for the port wing of the Sri-Lanken A321 to clear the starboard wing of the HongKong Express A320! Must be an optical illusion!

pugman211 · Fri Apr 14, 2017 4:56 pm

You can see there is plenty of clearance by looking at the distance between the sharklets

That it is. The Sri Lankan NEO is sitting at a different angle than the HK NEO. You can see the red sharklet of HK placed between the tails of both aircraft. The Sri L sharklet is right above the titles "Sri Lankan".

Thanks for posting this. I will pass it to others in CFM

Interesting, did not use reverse thrust on landing!

When's the first China Southern Airlines A321 NEO meant to be delivered?

KarelXWB · Thu Apr 20, 2017 10:18 am

It seems the CAAC hasn't certified the A321neo yet. On the A320neo it took them several months to complete certification.

First A320neo for easyJet? The reference to the NEO is a nice touch.

All photos credited to NNI-Spotting. Original tweet - https://twitter.com/nni_spotting/status ... 8599083008

I wasn't sure how to get the photos from Twitter onto here so I saved them into my own Flickr album and then linked them here. I hope that's allowed. To be clear, the photos are not mine.

JetBlue converts 3x A321neo to A321ceo for next year because of persistent PW engine issues.

Design-Wise, If I were Easyjet, I would have made the "O" of NEO look like a slice of orange :-)

I gotta congratulate the attention to detail on that Easyjet NEO artwork, correctly use the LEAP fan instead of the PW.

Yes of course, but could have been orange (colour) to add fun. Just my own personal taste.

No I don't think so because I believe the first few a319s they got were from Toulouse and from then on they had them from both TLS&XFW
