The Airbus A319 is a shortened, more compact variant of the popular A320 family, designed to offer exceptional efficiency and performance on short- to medium-haul routes. With seating for 124 to 156 passengers depending on configuration, the A319 retains the same wide cabin cross-section, fly-by-wire technology, and flight deck commonality as its A320 siblings. Its smaller size makes it ideal for lower-demand markets or airports with operational constraints, while still providing airlines with the range and comfort associated with larger jets. The A319 has been widely adopted by both full-service and low-cost carriers around the world.
