(Figures at end of July 2021)
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.

of up to 4,700nm / 8,700km (+15% than A321LR) with 30% lower fuel burn per seat
than previous generation competitor aircraft.
● Entry into service of the A321XLR is planned in 2023.
● The A321XLR offers a long haul experience on board with 6,000ft average cabin
altitude and delivers an enhanced payload range capability, enabling airlines to
extend their market reach, thanks to a permanent Rear Centre Tank (RCT), (12,900l
fuel volume), and an optional Additional Centre Tank (ACT) and a higher Maximum
Take-Off Weight of 101t.
________________________________________________________________
● A321LR is offering long range capability, achieving up to 4,000nm (7400km) thanks

to three Additional Centre Tanks (ACTs) to store more fuel.
● A321LR can carry up to 244 passengers in a single-class configuration, while cabin
flexibility allows it to offer also a three-class configuration with full flat premium seats
or a typical two-class configuration with up to 206 seats.
● A321LR is improved with a maximum take-off weight of 97 tonnes.
Compared to its previous generation competitor aircraft, operators benefit from 30%
lower fuel consumption per seat and 30% lower operational cost per seat.
● A321LR offers 95% airframe spares commonality with the A320 Family.
Airspace cabin: perfect space for passengers and airlines
● Being the widest single-aisle, with 7’’ more than the 737, the A320 Family will always
offer wider seats, a wider aisle, bigger stowage and a more comfortable flight.
● The A320 Family cabin features long haul seat comfort in all classes, from the
comfort economy to the full-flat business class seat, providing the versatility to adapt
to all airline strategies.
● The new Airspace cabin provides passengers with the best travel experience,
including comfortable seats like on a widebody aircraft.
● Airspace is already in service with A350 XWB and A330neo and will be fully available
in 2021 for the A320neo Family (e.g. mood lighting, connectivity, bigger bins).
● The A320neo Family offers clean air in the cabin via HEPA (High Efficiency
Particulate Arrestor) filters. The air is renewed every 2-3 minutes.
Community benefits
● Nearly 50% reduction in noise footprint (20 EPndB lower noise than the latest Stage
4)
● 5,000 tonnes less CO2 emissions per year per aircraft
● NOx emissions 50% below current industry standard
