About the Airbus A319

"The smaller, nimbler member of the A320 family!"

The Airbus A319 is the smallest member of the A320 family — a shortened version of the A320 that seats around 120–160 passengers. It's perfect for thinner routes where a full-size A320 would be too big. Despite its smaller size, it has the same cockpit as the A320, so pilots can fly both planes with the same license.
