Airbus A320

The Airbus A320 family is the world's best-selling single-aisle aircraft family and one of aviation's greatest success stories. Launched in 1988, the A320 was revolutionary as the first commercial aircraft with digital fly-by-wire flight control and side-stick controllers. The family includes the A318, A319, A320, and A321 variants, plus the re-engined A320neo ("new engine option") series launched in 2016. With over 19,635 aircraft ordered and 12,472+ delivered as of 2025, the A320 family dominates the short-to-medium haul market. The neo variants offer 20% fuel savings and significant noise reduction. The family serves airlines worldwide on routes ranging from 30 minutes to 8+ hours.
