18 aircraft are to be added to the Peach fleet with the aircraft gradually delivered from 2021. These additional aircraft will be used for upgrading the existing fleet.

The A321LR is the newest member of the A320 family of jets, the best – selling single – aisle jet in the world, and based on the A321neo, a member of the same family of jets. The model boasts a flight distance of 7,400 km, the longest flight distance in the world for a single – aisle jet, which will make it possible for Peach to fly throughout Asia.
