The Airbus A320 is a narrow-body, twin-engine commercial jet airliner developed by Airbus. Introduced in the late 1980s, it is designed for short- to medium-haul routes and typically seats between 140 and 180 passengers, depending on cabin configuration. The aircraft is part of the A320 family, which also includes variants such as the A318, A319, and A321.

The A320 was one of the first commercial aircraft to feature a full digital fly-by-wire control system, replacing traditional mechanical flight controls with electronic interfaces. It is powered by two turbofan engines mounted under the wings and is known for its fuel efficiency, reliability, and relatively low operating costs.

Widely used by airlines around the world, the Airbus A320 has become one of the best-selling commercial aircraft models in aviation history. Updated versions, including the A320neo (“new engine option”), incorporate improved engines and aerodynamic enhancements to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
