what is an Airbus 319?
The A319, a shortened narrow-body variant, first flew on 25 August 1995 and entered service in 1996 with Lufthansa. Powered by CFM56 or Pratt & Whitney PW6000 turbofan engines, it typically carries 124 passengers in a two-class layout or up to 156 in a single-class configuration. The aircraft has a range of approximately 3,100 nmi (5,740 km; 3,570 mi). Passenger A319s have been converted to cargo configurations, and specialized variants have been developed for military and corporate use.
