United Airlines (UA, Chicago O'Hare) took delivery of its first A321-200NY(XLR) on June 3, after N64321 (msn 12581) was ferried from Hamburg Finkenwerder to Tampa International, ADS-B data shows.
This is the first aircraft from an order of fifty A321-200NY(XLR)s that United ordered directly from Airbus. The carrier is the second in the United States to receive an XLR, after American Airlines, while JetBlue Airways is also expected to operate the type in the future.
According to ch-aviation fleets data, there are five more XLRs that have already received their registrations and will be delivered to United shortly: N54323 (msn 12979), N54325 (msn 13132), N54326 (msn 13040), N64322 (msn 12820), and N64324 (msn 13082).
Last month, United also took delivery of the first increased maximum takeoff weight (iMTOW) B787-9. The increase in question enables about three metric tonnes of extra payload, or over 300 nautical miles (555 kilometres) of additional range. The aircraft is N81105 (msn 68651).
Boeing will also introduced an iMTOW B787-10, which will be able to carry about five metric tonnes of extra payload or over 400 nautical miles (740 kilometres) of additional range.

The Irish government hopes to pass legislation lifting the current passenger cap at Dublin International through both houses of parliament by mid-July 2026, transport minister Darragh O'Brien said. The country's main gateway is currently limited to 32 million passengers a year based on 2007 legislation, but its enforcement is suspended pending a European Court of Justice ruling. In 2025, the airport handled 36.4 million passengers. The US government, acting on a request from the Airlines for America (A4A) lobby group, has threatened Ireland with traffic right cuts if the cap is not lifted.

Empire Aviation San Marino (DWC, Rimini) has announced the induction of a managed Global 6500, the group's first aircraft of the type.
“The Global 6500 is popular among our owners and charter clients. Despite being an ultra-long-range jet, the aircraft can still operate efficiently into a wide range of airports worldwide,” said Paras P Dhamecha, founder and managing director of Empire Aviation Group.
The 2019-built aircraft, registered in San Marino as T7-MBG (msn 9872) in the second quarter of 2026, is configured for up to 14 passengers. The jet became active on May 7, ferrying between Singapore Seletar and Muscat, with stops at Utapao and Bangkok Don Mueang, before departing for Dubai World Central, where it will be based, the following day.
This Global 6500 joins several other ultra-long-range Bombardier Business Aircraft in Empire Aviation San Marino's managed fleet, comprising two Global Express XRS jets, one inducted in mid-2025 and the other parked at Battle Creek since December 20, a Global 5000 added in late 2025, two Global 6000s following the retirement of a third in mid-2025, and two Global 7500s.
The company further operates a B737-700(BBJ), two Challenger 604s, a G280 inducted in mid-2025, a GIV-SP, a GVII-G600 added in early 2025, a G650, a G700 inducted in mid-2025, a Legacy 650, and a Hawker 900XP.
United Arab Emirates-based Empire Aviation's fleet comprises an ACJ318-100, a Legacy 650, a GVII-G600, and a Cayman Islands-registered GVII-G600, while Empire Aviation India operates a single Falcon 2000LX. Empire Aviation retired a Legacy 600 in 2025.
Empire Aviation expects further aircraft additions in 2026, although no details on types or operating divisions have been disclosed.
Empire Aviation San Marino's newly inducted Global 6500 was previously registered in the Cayman Islands as VP-CPR and operated by Sino Jet Management (SJM, Hong Kong International). The company continues to manage a Global 7500 alongside ultra-long-range Boeing Business Jet, Dassault Aviation, and Gulfstream Aerospace aircraft.
Sino Jet Beijing operates a Cayman Islands-registered Global 6500, as well as Dassault and Gulfstream jets. Both Sino Jet (SJD, Beijing Capital) and Sino Jet (Cayman), the group's two other divisions, exclusively manage ultra-long-range Gulfstream aircraft.
