Airbus A319 is a shortened version of the A320 airliner. The main difference between these liners is the difference in length (the A319 is 4 meters shorter). Another feature of this modification of the Airbus is the increased flight range.
Modifications
Airbus A319 is produced in 4 modifications:
- A319-110;
- A319-130;
- A319-LR;
- A319-ACJ.
Mod 110 is basic. This Airbus is powered by a CFM56 engine. Version 130 was developed from the base model. This modification uses the AeroEngines V2500 engines. The most unique modification is the A319-LR. It is in this modification that additional fuel tanks are used, which allow to increase the flight range up to 8 thousand kilometers. The business aviation category is represented by the ACJ (Airbus Corporate Jet) model. The cabin of this aircraft has an increased level of comfort. It is equipped with a gymnasium, shower room and meeting room. ACJ is designed to carry from 10 to 50 passengers. When dismantling VIP-modules, the salon can be increased up to 100 seats... The ACJ flight range reaches 12 thousand kilometers.
Airbus passenger compartment layout
There are several layouts for A319 aircraft. Most often, these airliners are designed to carry from 120 to 156 air passengers. The difference is due to the fact that each air carrier uses its own scheme. The standard scheme is designed to carry 128 passengers.
Business Class
8 out of 128 seats in the cabinA319 Airbusreserved for business class.The most convenient is the second row, which provides a large distance for a comfortable position in the chair. Maximum comfort is provided by the reclining back of the chair. But in the first row there is a little less legroom. This is due to the presence of a wardrobe wall in front. This restriction not only interferes with the legs, but also significantly limits the view. In addition, the configuration of this airliner provides for the proximity of the first row to the washrooms.
Economy class
The economy class category includes seats from the 3rd to 22nd rows. In front of the 3rd row of the Airbus there is a curtain that separates the 2 classes. This allows Economy Class passengers to travel with maximum comfort. They have room for a comfortable leg position. Moreover, no one will recline the back of their chair in front of them. Fixed armrests, in which folding tables are installed, are considered a disadvantage.
The worst seats in this airliner are row 21-22 seats. Passengers in the last seats are especially affected. Firstly, due to the minimum distance to the walls, the backs of the chairs do not unfold. Secondly, passengers will have to observe the constant congestion of people at the toilets. Third, they will have to hear the constant murmur of water and the sound of slamming doors. Such flight conditions cannot be called comfortable.
The best seats in Airbus
With the exception of the 2nd row, it is also worth noting the comfort of the seats in the 9th row. The main advantage is the increased distance to the previous row. This is due to the presence of emergency hatches. Passengers in these seats can stretch out their legs and enjoy the flight.
A319 aircraft safety
Airbus Industrie A319 is considered one of the safest aircraft of our time.In the entire history of the existence of this liner, not a single plane crash or major incident was recorded. However, in the past few years, news feeds have been filled with information about emergency landings of this aircraft. The last such landing happened in December 2012. Due to the failure of one of the engines, the pilot of the Moscow-Copenhagen flight was forced to make an emergency landing at Sheremetyevo airport. The cause of such problems is usually the lack of timely and correct maintenance.
Main characteristics
- The maximum flight range is 6800 km.
- The maximum take-off weight is 75.5 tons.
- The length of the airliner is 33.8 m, the height is 11.8 m.
- The maximum cruising speed is 820 km / h.
- The maximum speed is 890 km / h.
- The wingspan is 34.1 m.
- Fuel consumption per hour - 2600 kg.
Design features
The airliner of this modification is a narrow-body 2-motor cantilever low-wing aircraft. The main feature of this airplane aircraft is considered to be the fact that the swept wings pass through the lower half of the fuselage. Thanks to this, during an emergency landing with the landing gear not extended, the wing structure protects passengers and aircraft crew from impact.
Composite materials are used in the production of the all-metal body of the Airbus. The liner is equipped with a retractable 3-support landing gear. The strength and lightness of the chassis greatly simplifies the process of its deployment and retraction.
Airbus aircraft is equipped with turbofan jet enginesthat are installed under the plane of the wings. The liner is equipped with onboard electronic systems EFIS. For the convenience of the pilot, color multifunctional screens are used as information fields in the cockpit.
Cabin capacity and dimensions
- Number of seats - 128 (depending on the conditions of the air carrier, the number may vary from 120 to 156 seats).
- Interior length - 23.8 m, width - 3.7 m.
- Economy class seat pitch - 76.2 cm.
Flight data
- The maximum flight altitude is 11,900 km.
- Takeoff run - 1520 m.
- The run length is 1450 m.
- Remote fuel consumption - 20.5 g / passenger-km.
History of creation
This aircraft is a slightly modified version of the A320 airliner. The founder of the International Lease Finance Corporation Stephen Udvar-Hazy was the initiator of the creation of a shortened model of the A320. It was this company that ordered the production of 6 A319 aircraft back in 1992. A year later, contracts for the purchase of this version were signed with Swissair and Alitalia. The final assembly was completed on March 23, 1995 at the German plant in Hamburg.
This version of the airbus was commissioned on 25 August 1995. The first users of this aircraft were passengers of Swissair. On this moment 1460 Airbuses of this version were produced. 1,440 aircraft are still in service today. It is also worth noting that the largest operator today is EasyJet. The airline operates over 140 aircraft of this modification.
Where is Airbus A319 manufactured
The largest manufacturing enterpriseAirbus A319is a factory in Hamburg. The entire A320 family is assembled here. But it is worth noting that the main production facilities are located in Hamburg, while the wing system is being manufactured in Berlin. In addition, the Stade plant produces body components for this aircraft, and Buxtehude produces electronic communications systems.
The assembly line was created in chinese city Tianjin. The first Chinese-made A319 entered service in July 2011.
Cost of different versions
As of 2017, the cost of the original Airbus is in the $ 90.5 million to $ 99.5 million range. The cost of the A319-ACJ business jet exceeds $ 120 million.
Airbus A319 modernization
As part of the modernization of its products, Airbus is planning to launch an updated model - A319NEO. The modernized airliner will accommodate 140 passengers in two classes or 160 in one. The estimated flight range of the NEO version will be 6,000 kilometers. This Airbus model will be powered by the new generation PurePowe PW1100G-JM and LEAP-1A engines.
Now the modernized representative of the A320 family is at the testing stage. Commissioning was planned for 2018. Customers of Qatar Airways will be the first to appreciate the novelty.
In the Russian aviation market, S7 Airlines ranks second: its fleet consists of 72 modern foreign-made airliners, and the geography of routes includes 150 domestic and international destinations. Regular flights have been established to countries in Europe, the Middle East and the Pacific region. The number of passengers transported in 2016 alone is almost 10 million. Many passengers take care of their comfort while traveling before the flight. To do this, it is enough to study in advance the layout of the Airbus A319 of S7 Airlines. The article will tell you how to choose the best places in the Airbus A319 S7 and which ones to avoid.
S7 Airlines advantages
Is a participant aviation alliance Oneworld and is among the top 100 airlines in the world. As part of the alliance, S7 offers its passengers more comfortable waiting rooms, an easier transfer procedure for connecting flights, and participation in the Priority loyalty program.
In the Russian aviation market, S7 was the first to start using information technology: passengers can go through the entire procedure for choosing a route, booking tickets and registering via the Internet or a mobile application. In 2018, the airline received the Skyway Service Award for Best Online Passenger Service.
In the same year, S7 became the best Russian airline in servicing economy class passengers on domestic regular flights.
For regular customers, the airline operates a mileage accumulation program that allows you to collect miles and then spend them on free tickets or upgrades.
Airbus A319
The S7 fleet has 19 Airbus A319-100 aircraft. This small airliner (just over 33 meters in length) can fly over 6,000 km.
The A319 aircraft has been produced by Airbus Corporation since 1995 and is the main competitor of the American Boeing 737-700.
A319 - narrow-body passenger liner, used on medium-haul routes with low passenger traffic. It has good maneuverability and reliability. The cockpit is equipped with fly-by-wire control system, LCD displays and side sticks (side control sticks).
To reduce the overall weight of the liner, a durable plastic reinforced with carbon or fiberglass is widely used in its construction.
Airbus 319 features a spacious cabin (3.70 m), wide overhead bins, and a large cargo deck. The passenger compartment has individual LED lighting for each passenger.
Since 2012, the A319 has been produced with modified wingtips.
Seat map of Airbus A319 in S7
All S7 Airlines Airbus A319 aircraft have the same layout for 144 passengers in one service class. The aircraft has 4 main doors and two emergency exits. Bathrooms are located behind the last row.
Let's get acquainted in more detail with the layout of the cabin, the location of the seats, and determine more or less comfortable seats in the Airbus A319.
Look for cheap tickets for any type of transport without leaving your home:
Place lettering:
- A, F - seats at the windows;
- B, E - middle places;
- C, D - aisle seats.
Seats of the 1st row are located immediately behind the partition. Here, the space in front of the seats is 25 cm more than in the standard rows. The photo of the salon is presented below:
Rows 2 to 10 are regular seats. The seat pitch in such rows is 75 cm.
Emergency exits are located between rows 10 and 11. In order not to block the approach to them, the backs of the row 10 seats are locked.

The middle and tail section of the aircraft are standard seats.
The best places
In the Airbus A319, S7 marks the best seats as "extra space". The distance in front of their seats is 25 cm longer than that of standard seats. According to the scheme, these are:
- 1, 11 A B C D E F
The surcharge for such places is 1000 rubles. and higher (the price depends on the duration of the flight).
S7 Airlines provides a free seat selection service for passengers with children from 2 to 12 years old!
Bad places
Inconvenient seats in the cabin have a fixed backrest or are located next to the washrooms. In Airbus 319 of S7 company it is:
- 10, 24 A B C D E F
Toilets are located immediately after the last 24th row. People waiting in line, knocking doors and the sound of water will add additional inconvenience during the flight. The backs of this row rest against the partition and do not recline.

The Airbus A319 is a slightly smaller version of the A320. Depending on the model, the number of seats varies from 124 people in a two-class model and up to 156 passengers in a one-class model. And there are dozens of different interior variations.
In order to determine which seats are the best in the Airbus A319, you need to consider the diagram of the aircraft in which you are going to fly. But in order to understand the principle of the distribution of passenger seats, it will be enough to familiarize yourself with the diagram of one model.
Let's take as a basis the diagram of the Airbus A319 model, which is also used by Aeroflot:
The layout of the A319 cabin is provided by office. Aeroflot website.
Let's take a closer look at the liner scheme, note which places are the best and which are the worst.
Seats in rows 1-5. Business class seats are located here. It should be noted that in business class seats of the A320 model range, the seat pitch is not very large. It is, of course, much larger in comparison with the economy class, but significantly inferior to the Airbus A330 model.
First row seats Little more space for the legs than on all other rows. Even passengers of great height can freely cross their legs. Another plus is that no one will throw the back of the chair in front of you, and the business class chairs have a large backrest.
Also in the first row near the wall there are fastenings for cradles for children. Therefore, you may well fly in the vicinity of passengers with small children. But this happens very rarely in business class. +
In the 6th row there is also quite enough legroom, but it will not work to stretch your legs - the wall will interfere.
Among the advantages of these places, one can single out the fact that passengers are the first to receive food, because it is from the 6th row that they begin to carry it, and also no one will be able to recline their seat on you. +
Among the downsides is that folding tables are made in the armrests and because of this the seats themselves are narrower. And here, as well as in the first rows, the wall has a mount for cradles, so there is a chance that you will fly next to small children. For some, this fact can cause certain inconveniences. +
7th row seats. Since this row is located in front of the emergency exit, the seats here either do not recline at all or have restrictions. This is for safety reasons so that the seats do not obstruct the passage to the emergency exit.
8 row, seats A and F. In these places, the seats are not very comfortable, because they are slightly "beveled" towards the location of the emergency hatch. But it also has its advantages - large legroom.
8 row, seats B, C and D, E. Of all the Economy Class seats, these are the best. Since they are located behind emergency hatchesthere is plenty of legroom here. But there are certain limitations in purchasing tickets for these seats. It is forbidden to sit in these rows for people with children, with animals, as well as passengers with disabilities and the elderly.
20 row, seats C and D. The chairs are close to the toilet, so people who constantly walk by can cause some inconvenience.
21 row... Let us consider separately the places that are in this row. Firstly, these places are located close to the toilet, so people will constantly walk past you and possibly create a "queue". Also, due to the proximity to the toilet, it is possible that you will smell unpleasant, and also listen to passengers slam the door and drain the water in the tank.
Despite the abundance of aircraft models that are widely used today various companiesHowever, air carriers still prefer Airbus aircraft. These brainchildren of European designers are ideal for passenger transportation, moreover, they are equipped with the most modern electrical equipment and navigation devices.
Of all the models of this company in Russia, the Airbus A319 is most often used. The interior layout of this liner is often found on the Internet in several configuration options. This kind of variability allows aircraft to be deployed on routes of different ranges. Today we will tell you in detail about which are used in their activities the most major airlines in our country. You can also find out which seats in the cabin can be considered the best.
General description of the aircraft
"Airbus A319" (we will give a layout of the cabin of several models in the following sections of the article) belongs to the "Airbus A320" family and is the second most popular airliner in the world. This aircraft is four meters shorter than its counterpart, so the number of passenger seats is reduced. The development of this model began in the early nineties of the last century; the liner made its first flight in 1995. A year later, he received a certificate of conformity and began to be mass-produced.
We can say that it was from this moment that the triumphal march of the Airbus A319 across the planet began. Foreign airlines began to actively purchase it, and gradually this model became the most popular among Russian carriers. At the moment, such aircraft make up the majority of the aircraft fleet of S7 Airlines and Russia. It is noteworthy that all twenty years of using the Airbus A319, design engineers have been constantly modernizing it, and it has not lost its relevance to this day.
Liner modifications
At the moment there are three modifications of the Airbus A319 on the market. The cabin layout of each model can reveal the differences and similarities between these aircraft.
But experts know that airliners of the same family also differ significantly in technical characteristics:
- The Airbus A319-100 is considered a classic model and can fly almost seven thousand kilometers.
- "Airbus A319LR" refers to more modern aircraft, which are equipped with several and can cover distances of over eight thousand kilometers.
- The Airbus A319ACJ was launched as a business-class airliner, in which no more than thirty-nine people can travel up to a distance of twelve thousand kilometers.
Recently, the Airbus company presented the newest modification of the airliner - Airbus A319 NEO. The aircraft differs from previous models by a different wing structure and updated engines.
Brief technical characteristics
Aircraft of this family are equipped with engines of two modifications; they are manufactured by different factories. About twenty percent of the structure is composite. The airliner is designed for medium-haul routes and has appropriate fuel tanks. Four passenger doors can be seen on the hull. The total capacity of the Airbus A319 (the layout of the cabin confirms this) is one hundred and twenty-four people. However, there are models that can carry up to one hundred and fifty six passengers at a time.
Aeroflot: the layout of the cabin of the Airbus A319
The largest russian airline planes of this model are actively used. Therefore, passengers fly on them quite often and are always interested in which seats are better to choose. In order to clarify this issue, we need a diagram or a photo of the cabin of the Airbus A319, indicating the rows and the most comfortable seats for travel. Aeroflot uses two cabin modifications: for one hundred and twenty-four passengers with two types of cabin and for one hundred and fifty-six people, accommodated only in economy class. We will consider a two-class version of the aircraft.
The layout of the Airbus A319 cabin, given by us, clearly shows which seats can be considered the best. They are marked in green and yellow. The sixth row can be called convenient, but with some restrictions. It will not be possible to stretch freely here, but due to the wall in front, it is quite comfortable to sit. In addition, passengers in this row are the first to receive a hot meal. On the seventh row, the seats have some reclining restrictions, so these seats are suitable for short trips. The eighth row is considered the most comfortable, there is a lot of free legroom, and even a long flight will not cause inconvenience.
S7: layout of the cabin "Airbus A319"
This carrier was one of the first in Russia to start purchasing Airbuses. At the moment, the airline has about twenty aircraft classic configuration. They have eight seats in business class and one hundred and twenty in economy. As you can see from the diagram, the best spots are also marked in yellow and green here.
In front of the third row, there is a small curtain separating the salons. Therefore, travelers will have plenty of free space during the flight. Seats in the eighth row are comfortable, but keep in mind that you cannot recline the backrests. Therefore, you should only sit here when your flight will not take more than two hours. The ninth row is the cherished dream of most passengers - there is a lot of space here, and the flight becomes a pleasure.
Rossiya Airlines: the best seats on the plane
Already twenty-six "Airbuses" have in their fleet the air carrier "Russia". The layout of the Airbus A319 cabin, given below, will tell the airline's passengers where they will fly most comfortably. Keep in mind that the airline operates with two types of cabin layouts. The first is identical to the previous version, which is used by S7. But the second is slightly different from its counterpart.
In this modification, the single-class aircraft has been redesigned, so travelers can choose their seats in business and economy. The tenth is considered the most convenient row. It is marked in green. The rest of the places are common and do not deserve a detailed description.
Today Airbus liners are in demand by air carriers in Russia and the CIS countries. A319 is operated by market giants " Aeroflot», « Russia», « S7". To find out the location of the seats on the plane, it is advisable to consider a specific modification of the board on which the journey is to take place. However, here it will be possible to determine similar features in the layout of the salon when considering a single sample. Let's take the airline board as a standard " Aeroflot».
This model is adapted to cover small and medium distances. An aircraft of this class is capable of flying 6,845 kilometers without refueling.... This value is an excellent indicator for an airliner, the length of which is 33.84 meters with a wingspan of 34.1 meters. The developers released the first A319 board in 1992, and the production of aircraft continues today. Aeroflot has 7 Airbus A319 models on its balance sheet - the layout of the Rossiya cabin is identical to the described modifications, there are 26 such airliners.
On the basis of the basic model, the designers developed the production of several modernized samples of this type of board and. Moreover, individual aircraft are capable of covering distances of up to 12,000 km - as an example, we will take the Airbus A319 Corporate Jet. The fuel tanks are enlarged here, and the board can accommodate 39 people. If we compare the aircraft with other modifications, then among the competitors the aviators call the Boeing 717. However, this airliner is no longer produced.
When designing the base model, the designers provided two classes for passengers with a total capacity of 124 seats in the interior layout. Variations of the liners imply a change in the number of passenger seats in the range of 116-156 units. Moreover, the share of comfortable seats is 17%.
In this review, we will consider the Airbus A319 Aeroflot, the layout of the cabin, the best seats and technical parameters of which allow taking 132 passengers on board. Here, the developers took into account the installation of 12 high-comfort seats and the equipment of 120 economy-class seats. We will study the features of the layout of such a side in order to determine which seats are appropriate to book, and what is better to refuse. Let's start with an overview of the general selection rules.
Place search principles
So that the flight does not cause discomfort, it is advisable for airline customers to determine the specific position of the seat. In models of this type, the designers took into account the arrangement of seats according to the 3: 3 scheme in the standard cabin and 2: 2 in the business class compartment. Let's talk about the benefits and weaknesses seats near portholes and aisles - after all, it is from this factor that the traveler determines the principal one.
Seats next to the windows allow you to shoot video while traveling or just enjoy the unusual scenery. However, here it is important to consider the need to disturb the neighbor in the chair in order to go to the bathroom or stretch your legs. These seats are suitable for tourists who plan to work or sleep the entire flight.
Armchairs that are installed in the middle of the row are not the best solution for single travelers. There is no "personal" armrest. In addition, during the journey, such passengers are periodically harassed by neighbors on both sides.
Chair block with 11 to 20 rows - standard seats. The negative and positive aspects of choosing such places are not expressed in any way. The only caveat is that the seats that are installed from the 15th line feel more shaking.
Places 21 "C"
and 21 "D"
cannot be called comfortable. These chairs are installed at the aisle, and due to the close location of the latrines, a large number of passengers pass by periodically. Accordingly, it is noisy and crowded here throughout the entire flight. The last, 22nd row is the worst choice. Seats in this line are occupied only in the absence of other options. Here the chairs are not folded out, and the blocks of bathrooms installed behind the seats exclude a calm and quiet flight.
In order to avoid any discomfort during travel, many tourists follow the airline's instructions to reserve a suitable seat. Let's start with people who prefer. In this situation, during the checkout process, the passenger opens a schematic view of the passenger compartment indicating occupied and free seats. Here it will be possible to examine the installed technical blocks and latrines.
It is advisable for single travelers to refuse to book seats installed in the middle of the row
Try to avoid the proximity of such utility rooms - it is crowded, and constant noise can ruin the experience of the flight. Also, pay attention to the location of the emergency exits. Usually, the seats are near the hatches and the previous line is limited in comfort. Finally, the last row seats in any model liner are the worst seats on board.
For people who prefer to check-in for a flight at the airport, it is appropriate to print in advance a diagram of the board on which the flight is to be made and to consult with the airport staff. Please note that this model assumes a different number of business class seats, so it is appropriate to choose a seat on a specific board.
If you wish to take the "space seats" at the emergency exits, the client checks in directly at the airline counter. In addition to the current restrictions, these seats are considered by the airline to be the best economy seats, so there is a separate surcharge for them. Finally, for those wishing to choose a menu, it is appropriate to look for a place in the front of the cabin. It is also advisable to sit here for passengers with children.
In the front of the plane, passengers complain less about shaking
As you can see, studying the scheme of the plane on which the traveler will go to the desired corner of the planet is a mandatory stage of pre-flight preparation. Such actions help passengers choose the best seat option and fly with the necessary comfort. Keep in mind that spoiled experiences at the start of your trip cloud your upcoming vacation, so avoid the negative.
The base model Airbus A319 is designed for short and medium distances - the airliner flies 6,845 km without refueling
