Airbus A320

The Airbus A320 family is a series of narrow-body airliners produced by Airbus, launched in 1984 and first introduced by Air France in April 1988. The family consists of the A318, A319, A320, and A321, with the first member being the A318, followed by the A319, A321, and then the A320.
