Fleet Rarity

Common in SAS fleet, one of over 1,400 delivered worldwide.

Record Flights

A319s are known for operating challenging approach airports and thin longer routes; not typically assigned to record-breaking flights.

Safety & Events

A319s have an excellent safety record with very few major incidents; individual airframe events should be checked by tail.
