Flying far, with the A321 XLR - feat. Evan (Analytic Flying) The Indian #AvGeek · Episode

💥Super excited for our podcast debut! Joined Vishal Mehra on the Indian AvGeek podcast to talk about what the A321 XLR is and isn't!

Why it means different things for different airlines, and why IndiGo and Qantas have built different use cases to other airlines!
