The Airbus A320 is a short to medium-range, narrow-body, twin-engine jet airliner manufactured by Airbus. First introduced in 1988, the A320 family became one of the most successful commercial aircraft programs in aviation history. The aircraft typically seats between 150-180 passengers in a standard two-class configuration and features a range of approximately 3,300 nautical miles. The A320 was revolutionary for its time, being the first commercial aircraft to use digital fly-by-wire control systems. Middle East Airlines has operated various A320 family aircraft as part of its fleet, serving routes across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa from its hub in Beirut.
