Airbus describes A320 planes as the"aircraft family of choice for airlines around the world".

These planes can fly up to 4,700 nautical miles (8,700km) and have a seating capacity from 120 to 244 seats.

The A320 also flies with 50% sustainable aviation fuel, which Airbus aims to use 100% of by 2030.

The planes feature a choice of two advanced turbofan engines, meaning they benefit from 20% fuel burn reduction when compared with previous generations of the aircraft.
