A319neo
The shortened-fuselage member of Airbus’ game-changing A320neo (new engine option) product line – the A319neo – seats 120-150 passengers in two classes or as many as 160 in a high-density layout with a range of up to 3,750 nautical miles. Contributing to its operational efficiency is the choice of two new-generation engines (the PurePower PW1100G-JM from Pratt and Whitney and the LEAP-1A from CFM International), as well as the incorporation of large, fuel-saving wingtip devices called Sharklets.

Due to its 95% commonality with the A320 Family, Airbus’ A319neo jetliner fits seamlessly into the current A320 Family fleets worldwide – which is a key factor for the company’s customers and operators. The A319neo provides minimum change with maximum benefit for the A320 through incorporation of two new engine choices – the PurePower PW1100G-JM from Pratt & Whitney and the LEAP-1A from CFM International – along with fuel-saving Sharklet™ wingtip devices. It also shares a common type rating with other variants of the Airbus A320 Family, which allows existing A320 Family pilots to fly the aircraft without the need for further training.
Incorporating new engines and large Sharklet™ wingtip devices, Airbus’ A320neo Family – which includes the A319neo as its shortest-fuselage member – was designed to deliver fuel savings of 15 per cent. The Airbus A320neo product line also provides a significant reduction in NOx emissions and reduced engine noise.
Powered by CFM International LEAP-1A engines, the no. 1 A319neo performed its maiden evaluation on 31 March 2017 – taking off from Airbus’ industrial site at Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport in Germany and landing at the company’s Toulouse, France headquarters facility, where it will complete the flight test programme for this shortest-fuselage member of the A320 New Engine Option Family
