Airbus A380
The A380 has
been winning over business and leisure passengers alike since its service
introduction in 2007, providing levels of comfort and reliability that have led
travelers to specifically request flights on Airbus’ 21st century flagship –
which is in operation with carriers around the globe.
The double-deck A380 is the world’s largest commercial aircraft flying today, with capacity to carry 525 passengers in a comfortable three-class configuration, and up to 853 in a single-class configuration that provides wider seats than its competitor. Overall, the A380’s two decks offer 50 per cent more floor surface than any other high-capacity aircraft.
With superior range of 15,700 km., the A380 is the ideal solution to alleviate traffic congestion at busy airports. It has two full-length passenger levels with true widebody dimensions: a main deck and an upper deck, which are conveniently linked by fixed stairs forward and aft.

Airbus A330
Airbus’
popular A330 aircraft have become preferred choices for the world’s largest
airlines, low-cost carriers, private and cargo operators, and military
services.
The multi-talented A330 Family addresses a full range of operational requirements, including airline passenger and cargo service, VVIP and head-of-state transportation, as well as military airlift and in-flight refuelling.
The varied list of A330 operators around the globe ranges from small and low-cost long-haul operators to the world’s major flag carriers, along with governments and military services, while these widebody jetliners cover diverse routes and missions ranging from 30 minutes to 14 hours.

Airbus A321
The benchmark A320 Family’s largest member – the A321 –
offers airline customers the best seat-mile costs of any single-aisle aircraft
and seating capacities comparable to that of a widebody jetliner.
This aircraft has a stretched fuselage with an overall length of 44.51 metres, along with an extended operating range of up to 3,000 nautical miles while carrying a maximum passenger payload. Like each member in Airbus’ A320 Family of jetliners, the A321 offers the lowest fuel burn, emissions and noise footprint in its class.

Airbus A320
Airbus launched its single-aisle product line with the A320,
which continues to set industry standards for comfort and operating economy on
short- to medium-haul routes. Typically
seating 150 passengers in a two-class cabin – or up to 180 in a high-density
layout for low-cost and charter flights – the A320 is in widespread service
around the globe on services that vary from short commuter sectors in Europe,
Asia and elsewhere to trans-continental flights across the United States.
The A320’s advanced technology includes the extensive use of weight-saving composites, an optimized wing that is 20 per cent is more efficient than previous designs, a centralized fault display for easier troubleshooting and lower maintenance costs, along with Airbus’ fly-by-wire flight controls.
Advantages of the fly-by-wire controls – which were pioneered on the A320 – are many. They provide total flight envelope and airframe structural protection for improved safety and reduced pilot workload, along improved flight smoothness and stability, and fewer mechanical parts.

Airbus A319
As a shortened-fuselage version of Airbus’ A320 cornerstone
single-aisle jetliner, the A319 continues to prove its versatility – enabling
carriers around the world to benefit from the aircraft’s range options and seat
layout flexibility.
In addition to the standard 124-seat configuration with a range of up to 3,740 nautical miles, Airbus offers an option with a seating capacity of up to 156 passengers – a version that is being ordered by an increasing number of low-cost airlines.
The A319 has the same optimised cabin cross-section as the other A320 Family members – which is the widest single-aisle fuselage on the market and sets the standards for passenger cabin adaptability in this segment. This allows for top-of-the-range comfort with generous seat width, or an extra-wide aisle for fast turnarounds.

Airbus A318
The A318 extends Airbus’ A320 Family product line into the
100-seat commercial jetliner market segment.
Joining the A319, A320 and A321, it provides Airbus with one family of
single-aisle aircraft that covers capacities from 100 to 220 seats.
As the smallest A320 Family member, the A318’s fuselage is 2.39 metres shorter than the A319. Takeoff weight choices of up to 66 metric tonnes provide airlines with greater operating flexibility and higher loads in operating the A318, with a maximum flight range of 2,800 km.
Designed to serve markets with frequent services on low-density routes, the A318 accommodates 107 passengers in a typical two-class cabin configuration. Airlines enjoy the benefits of Airbus technology, including one of the newest wing designs in its size category and the application of advanced materials in the airframe – providing more efficient operations and lower fuel consumption.
