Acknowledged as one of the highest selling airliners of all time, the Airbus A320 is a narrow-body, twin engine jet that went into service in 1988 as an innovative pioneer with digital fly-by-wire side stick controls and is typically configured to fly 150 to 186 passengers over short to medium distances.
