LE BOURGET, France—American Airlines Group Inc. agreed to buy 50 long-range, single-aisle jets from Airbus SE—a big order for a new plane that leaves rival Boeing Co. behind in a new race to dominate a potentially promising market for midsize aircraft.
Airbus unveiled its new A321XLR, a fuel-efficient, narrow-body jetliner capable of flying between Europe and the middle of America, on Monday. It has racked up a series of big orders for the aircraft this week at the Paris Air Show here.
