Airbus - A320 - Narrow body series of Aircraft
Celerity Asset Management specializes in the A320 Aircraft. Celerity Asset Management focuses on acquiring mid- to late-life A320 aircraft with few exceptions
A320ceo Series : The A320 is a midsize fuselage aircraft with seats arranged on a single aisle permitting up to 6-abreast seating in a cabin below 4 meters (13 ft) of width. It shares the same fly-by-wire configuration as other aircraft in the A320 class, using the same flight controls and cabin management systems. This consistency makes life easier for pilots and cabin crew and allows them to focus on looking after passengers. Cockpit commonality also reduces training and maintenance costs while maximizing parts interoperability. The Typical A320 seating arrangement is 140 to 170 passengers, with a maximum capacity of up to 180 travelers.

The Boeing 737 and the Airbus A320 families have long been considered the workhorses of the global aviation sector. Airbus now holds 68 per cent share in the narrow-body aircraft market, off the back of Boeing’s 737 MAX crisis. During the peak production of the Boeing 737 NG and the Airbus ceo family, the market was split 50% / 50% between all aircraft variants of each family of aircraft.
Over 4752 Airbus A20 aircraft have been produced as of 2019. The aircraft was built in a passenger, business configuration. Some interest exists in an aftermarket freighter variation. An estimated 4303 A320ceo’s are still in operation.
