Model Description
J Fox Models 1/200th scale JFA319017L Airbus A319-114 Lufthansa Cityline – Star Alliance – D-AILX. Limited 48 models. Available to pre-order at Flying Tigers.
The Airbus A319 is a member of the Airbus A320 family of short- to medium-range, narrow-body, commercial passenger twin-engine jet airliners manufactured by Airbus. The A319 carries 124 to 156 passengers and has a maximum range of 3,700 nmi (6,900 km; 4,300 mi). Final assembly of the aircraft took place in Hamburg, Germany and Tianjin, China.
The A319 is a shortened-fuselage variant of the Airbus A320 and entered service in April 1996 with Swissair, around two years after the stretched Airbus A321 and eight years after the original A320. The aircraft shares a common type rating with all other Airbus A320 family variants, allowing existing A320 family pilots to fly the aircraft without the need for further training.
In December 2010, Airbus announced a new generation of the A320 family, the re-engined A320neo family (new engine option). The similarly shortened fuselage A319neo variant offers new, more efficient engines, combined with airframe improvements and the addition of winglets, named “sharklets” by Airbus. The aircraft promises fuel savings of up to 15%. The A319neo sales are much lower than other A320neo variants, with around 1% of orders by June 2020. The previous A319 generation was retroactively renamed the A319ceo (current engine option).
As of August 2025, a total of 1,518 Airbus A319 aircraft have been delivered, of which 1,264 are in service. In addition, another 24 airliners are on order. American Airlines is the largest operator with 133 A319ceo in its fleet.
