Airbus reportedly stops offering A319neo after weak sales, leaving the re-engined A320 family focused on larger variants

Airbus has quietly ended offering the A319neo to airline customers after continued underwhelming demand for the re-engined smallest member of the A320 family. The move effectively accelerates a lineup shift toward larger A320neo variants and the company’s A220 family for the smallest end of the single-aisle market.
