Airbus has produced throughout its 50-year history large passenger aircraft. Airbus launched the A320 on March 2, 1984, specifically to challenge the market dominance then held by two US aircraft: the Boeing 737 and the McDonnell-Douglas DC-9.

Thirty-eight years later, the total number of orders for Airbus A320 Family aircraft had exceeded the total number of orders for Boeing 737. With the A320 Family, comprising the A318, A319, A320, A321, A319neo, A320neo , A321neo, A321LR and A321XLR, Airbus has provided the market with a model suitable for any route. More than 325 airlines currently operate with A320 family aircraft, which means that this type is present at the main airports in the world. Whether you're a loyal aviation traveler, regular tourist, or someone who watches planes at airports, you've almost certainly flown in or seen an A320. A great plane.
