American Airlines company ordered 50 long-range Airbus A321 jets to become the first U.S. airline to order Airbus, CNBS reported.

Boeing, French company’s main rival, could not get new orders during the first days of Le Bourget air show in France.

According to other agreement, American Airlines had to purchase 30 A321 XLR jets and additional 20 jets. The new planes will probably replace some old jets, such as Boeing 757.
