A321MPA
2024 – A Real Competitor to Boeing?
During the Euronaval 2024 International Exhibition, the European aerospace giant
Airbus showcased a model of the land-based maritime patrol aircraft A321MPA.
This unveiling is linked to French defense needs and represents an effort to com-
pete with Boeing.
Airbus envisions the A321MPA replacing the aging Bréguet 1150 Atlantique 2 in French Naval Aviation. However,
high unit costs resulting from a limited Parisian order could pose a challenge. Image Credit: Airbus
