Field marks

  1. Small flat end-fins above and below the wingtip (spotters call these "fences") are the default — an upturned blade tip (a "sharklet") marks a rare neo or retrofit
  2. Shortest, stubbiest body in the A320 family — the tail sits close behind the wing
  3. Smoothly rounded cockpit windows separate it from any 737 at a glance

Size and shape, to scale

Photos can't hold a consistent scale from shot to shot — these silhouettes are all drawn at the same 10 px = 1 m scale, so the proportions here are trustworthy even though the photos above aren't.

Variant notes

  • Shortest A320-family member in wide service — about 3.7 m shorter than an A320
  • A319neo exists but is rare (a few dozen worldwide); nearly all A319s in service are ceo-generation
  • Popular as a corporate/VIP conversion (ACJ319) alongside airline use
