JETBLUE Airways Corp ordered 30 Airbus Group SE A321 jetliners valued at US$3.6 billion as the carrier expands its premium cabin service and considers adding its first trans-Atlantic flights.

JetBlue agreed to buy 15 A321s for delivery starting next year, and another 15 A321s with new, more fuel-efficient engines starting in 2020. The carrier can switch some of the second batch to longer-range versions that would enable it to fly across the Atlantic from cities in the eastern US.
