Skailark: 737 MAX 8‑200 Matches A321neo on Fuel Burn per Seat; A321XLR Looks Increasingly Niche
Skailark's dataset shows the Boeing 737 MAX 8‑200 matches the Airbus A321neo on fuel burn per seat, narrowing a performance gap that underpins carrier fleet choices. The analysis also indicates the A321XLR is becoming increasingly a niche option rather than a broad-market long‑range solution.
