Short-haul · the smaller cities in our network

Airbus A319-100

The Airbus A319 is the smallest aircraft in our fleet. With 134 seats it links Zurich with the smaller cities of our network, where a compact aircraft is the right size for the route.

At just under 34 metres, the A319 is the shortest aircraft we fly. Its cabin is nonetheless exactly as wide as that of its larger sisters, with the same seats and the same single aisle. It is powered by two IAE V2500 engines and could fly far further than any route in our network requires.

The cabin seats 134 passengers. Business occupies rows 1 and 2, where the middle seat always stays free, so each of its 8 seats is a window or an aisle. Economy follows from row 3 to row 23 with three seats on either side of the aisle. Row 10, next to the emergency exits, offers extra legroom.
