Airbus A320 family aircraft is a single - channel, two - engine, short - range, 150 - seat passenger aircraft developed and produced by Airbus Industries. It was the first commercial aircraft to use a digital fly-by-wire flight control system. After the A300/A310 wide-body aircraft developed by Airbus was recognized by the market and broke the situation of the monopolized passenger aircraft market in the United States, the aircraft developed by Airbus competed with Boeing 737 series and McDonnell Douglas MD-80 series. On June 28, 2011, China Aviation Supplies Group Corporation and ICBC Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. ordered 88 A320 series aircraft from Airbus.

     The A320 family is an innovative aircraft developed by European Airbus Industries, setting a new standard for single-aisle short - and medium-range aircraft. The A320 family of twin-flight 150-seat passenger aircraft is the first passenger aircraft to use all-digital fly-by-wire flight control system and the first passenger aircraft to relax the static stability design. The A320 family of aircraft is designed to improve cabin adaptability and comfort. The A320 family of aircraft includes the A318, A319, A320 and A321 to form the single-aisle aircraft family. Designed to meet airlines' needs to operate low cost short - and medium-haul routes, it offers operators the greatest commonality and economy in the 100 - to 220-seat class of aircraft. Since the A320 entered service in April 1988, it has quickly set industry standards for comfort and economy on short - and medium-haul routes. The success of the A320 family has also cemented Airbus's position in the commercial passenger aircraft market.

     As of 2008, Airbus produced more than 3,000 A320 families, including The A320, A321, A319 and A318, making it the second best-selling jet in history, after Boeing's 737.
