• Complete breakdown of all four A320 family variants (A318, A319, A320, A321)
• Airbus A320neo vs CEO – understanding the new engine option versus current engine option
• Detailed dimensions, wingspan measurements, and passenger capacity for each variant
• Flight crew and cabin crew requirements based on aircraft configuration
• Maximum range capabilities including the extended A321 XLR
• Critical A320 turning radius calculations for 180-degree turns
• Minimum taxiway width requirements for safe ground operations
• Antenna locations and external access points for maintenance inspections

*🔑 Key Specifications Covered:*

The A320 accommodates up to 180 passengers (CEO) or 194 passengers (NEO), while the stretched A321 can carry up to 244 passengers in NEO configuration. The A320 family shares a common wingspan of 35.8m (except the A318), making cross-fleet training efficient.

Understanding turning radius is critical for ground operations – the A320 requires a minimum 22.8m width for 180-degree turns, while the longer A321 needs 28.3m. These measurements are essential for safe taxiway navigation.
