Qatar Airways upgrades Airbus A321 order to include longer range jets | Reuters:

Qatar Airways has upgraded an existing order for 50 Airbus A321neo jets to include 10 long-range models, as a regional diplomatic rift has forced the airline to fly longer routes. 

The airline said on Thursday that 10 of those 50 aircraft would now be the A321LR, to be delivered from 2020.

A321s are the larger version of Airbus’ best-selling A320 narrow-body jet.
