Common aircraft include the Boeing 737, Airbus A320, Boeing 777, and Airbus A330. The specific aircraft will depend on the airline, route, and flight duration. Can I request to fly on a different type of plane? Although you cannot request to fly on a specific aircraft, here at Alternative...

With that being said, engine failure of any kind is, thankfully, not so common in modern aviation. And even then, as explained in this article, the pilots flying the plane are adequately trained in dealing with such a situation. What are your views on this? Please leave a comment below....
The A319neo has less passenger capacity company to the A320neo - this is by design and because the plane is physically shorter (in fact, the wingspan of the A319neo is wider than the plane is long). The A319neo can carry 120 passengers in a two-class configuration, or 150 in an all...
