Privilege Style replaces its two Boeing 757s with Airbus A321s

Palma de Mallorca, Spain - Spanish charter and leisure operator Privilege Style is preparing to retire its two Boeing 757 jets in the fleet. The airline is planning to replace them with two single-aisle jets from Airbus.

The carrier was previously looking at the Boeing 737-800 for the replacement. But the prolonged Boeing 737 MAX grounding affects the availability of the type since the airlines are trying to include more 737-800s in their fleets in the absence of 737 MAX jets.

According to the CEO of Privilege Style, the Spanish operator will acquire one Airbus A321 this year operated by Qatar Airways.

The carrier will continue to negotiate for a second Airbus A321 aircraft and then continue searching for two Airbus A320 jets.
