yeah, more progress on a plane that they are not even sure will do what was promised before the redesign. The redesign that added a lot of weight.

Horible, but that wasn't the question I responded too.

GoodJet gets it.

It was only certified last week, so you gotta at least wait for the ink to dry. "The new A321 variant is set to enter commercial service in November 2024. The launch customer, Iberia (IB) will operate it on its Madrid (MAD) to Boston (BOS) route." https://www.airwaysmag.com/new-post/airbus-a321xlr-type-certification

Airbus is a European manufacturer, so it makes sense that EASA issues this certificate approval.... and that approval includes whichever powerplant(s) was (were) evaluated during the process. Typically, the other Airworthiness Authorities will issue their approval on the basis of that.

The FAA is the big dog and their approval after EASA's is a formality, since the FAA has also been an integral part of the process, and would've had any concerns addressed.

The FAA certification of a Chinese built aircraft would've been different because well, the reality is that politics and "economic friction" is always part of the equation.
