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 248 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 →
