PARIS, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Airbus has delivered

its first A321XLR, the longest-range single-aisle jet, after

Spanish airline Iberia took ownership, Flightradar24 tracking

data shows.

The plane, which took five years to develop and targets a

market previously served by Boeing's out-of-production 757 or

larger wide-body jets, switched owners late on Tuesday and is

scheduled to fly from Hamburg to Madrid on Wednesday.

Airbus declined comment. Iberia did not immediately respond

to a request for comment on the delivery, which was reported by

Reuters on Tuesday.
