What kind of aircraft is this?
The Airbus A320 family (A318/A319/A320/A321) is a twin-engine, single-aisle jet airliner family in service since 1988 and one of the most common airliners in the world, used for short and medium-haul routes.
In plain terms, it's a jet (turbofan) multi-engine airplane. Certification: Type certificated (factory design approved by the FAA).
There are 100 aircraft of this exact model variant on the US register, and about 1,150 Airbus aircraft with closely related model designations, out of 317,717 registered aircraft in total. That's a well-established type that mechanics, pilots and regulators know very well.
An aircraft's age on its own says little about how safe it is: airliners are maintained on strict, regulator-approved schedules, and inspections become more detailed as aircraft get older. More about the Airbus A320 family →

History of Flight According to the first officer, who was the pilot flying, while in cruise flight at flight level 290, just prior to the top of descent, the cabin crew advised the flight deck of an odor in the forward section of the airplane. The cabin crew described the odor as a chemical smell that was difficult to identify, and they were unable to determine its source. Shortly thereafter, the captain and first officer detected an odor in the cockpit, which they initially described as chemical and acrid in nature, or …
