The A320 is one of the world’s most successful narrow-body jetliners, notable for pioneering the use of digital fly-by-wire controls in commercial aircraft.

Fleet Rarity

Lauda A320s are not particularly rare; the A320 itself is extremely common.

Record Flights

Most operated on short- and medium-haul European routes. Not known for record-breaking flights, but is key in European LCC operations.

Safety & Events

The A320 has had multiple notable events over its service, but nothing extraordinary regarding the Lauda fleet.

Future Outlook

Many A320ceos are being retired as neos are delivered, but Lauda A320s remain in active service as part of Ryanair’s group fleet.
