The aircraft is configured in a one class system with 180 seats, all in economy class.

The Airbus A320Neo shares the same dimensions as the traditional Airbus A320. The aircraft is 38 metres or 123 feet in length with a wingspan of 36 metres or 118 feet. At the tail, the airplane stands 12 metres or 39 feet in height.
The difference is fuel economy and cruise range. The A320neo can travel 6,500 kilometres, while the original version could go 6,100 KM. The Neo version has unique winglets to Airbus aircraft, looking more similar to a Boeing 737 or Boeing 767. The airline has dubbed the winglets ‘sharklets’.
