Ever since Airbus launched its single-aisle jetliner family with the A320, it has set the standard as the world’s most comfortable short-to-medium-haul aircraft – which is just one of the many reasons why it’s also the most successful aircraft of all time. Incorporating a versatile cabin that can be configured for a variety of seating options, the A320 usually seats from 140 to 170 passengers and has a maximum capacity to accommodate as many as 180 travellers.

Setting standards
With the widest single-aisle cabin, passengers can enjoy more personal space, wider seats and generous overhead compartments to store their luggage. With a versatile cabin that can be configured for a variety of seating options, the A320 usually seats 140 to 170 passengers and has a maximum capacity of up to 180 travellers. The A320 also has an extremely quiet cabin with an array of lighting options meaning it’s easy to relax and enjoy the flight.
Like all A320 Family members, the A320 shares the same fly-by-wire digital flight controls and cabin management systems and this consistency makes life easier for pilots and cabin crew and allows them to focus on looking after passengers. Cockpit commonality also reduces training and maintenance costs.
