A320 FAMILY: The most successful aircraft family ever
- The A320 Family is the world's most popular single-aisle aircraft family as it is the preferred choice with airlines, from the low cost carriers for which it is now the aircraft of choice, to new business models taking benefits of new levels of performance and comfort, and with passengers.
- With one aircraft in three sizes (A319, A320 & A321), the A320 Family is comfortably seating from 120 to 244 passengers and allows operators to match the
right aircraft size to demand covering the entire market, from low-to-high-density routes to longer-range thin routes
- Only the A320 Family does offer containerized cargo increasing the airlines' operational efficiency. Due to the widest single-aisle cross section, the A320 Family does offer containerized cargo as an option, providing unique flexibility to operators who can choose among bulk or container capability.
