The founding member of the best-selling Airbus single-aisle Family, the A320 is the only all-new aircraft in its category.

Airbus innovation means better performance and reliability with reduced fuel burn and easier maintenance.

The A320’s 3.96-metre-wide (13 ft.) fuselage provides wider seats and more room for carry-on baggage in the cabin, and the ability to load containerised cargo in the lower hold.

The A320 set a new generation of comfort standards, accommodating 12 first class and 138 economy passengers in the widest cabin available for single-aisle jetliners.
