JetBlue Airways eyes long-range Airbus for growth overseas

JetBlue Airways Corp (JBLU.O) is eyeing a long-range plane from Airbus that could carry its customers to distant places abroad for the first time in its history, potentially growing its network in South America. The largely U.S. domestic carrier sees a potential fit for the long-range version of Airbus Group SE's (AIR.PA) A321neo aircraft, JetBlue's Executive Vice President for Commercial and Planning Marty St. George said in an interview Monday. Airbus is pitching the single-aisle A321LR as an alternative to the Boeing Co (BA.N) 757 that was last manufactured a decade ago.
