The Airbus A319neo is the smallest member of the A320neo family, a modernized evolution of the original A319 fitted with new-generation engines and aerodynamic improvements including Sharklet wingtip devices. It entered service in 2018 and offers significant fuel savings compared to its predecessor, the A319ceo. The aircraft typically seats around 120–150 passengers in a single-class or two-class configuration and is optimized for thinner short to medium-haul routes where the larger A320neo would be underutilized. Its extended range capability also makes it attractive for thinner long-haul or point-to-point routes. Despite strong interest in the broader A320neo family, the A319neo has attracted fewer orders than its siblings, as many airlines have opted for the higher-capacity A320neo or A321neo to maximize revenue per flight.
