Airbus A318 for Sale

The Airbus A318 is the shortest member of the A320 family: 31.44 m long, 107 seats in a typical two-class layout and 3,100 nm of range. During development it was called the A319M3, and it is 2.40 m shorter than the A319.

Airbus built only 80, so every sale is a search for a specific aircraft. ICCJET finds them for airlines, charter operators and private and government buyers.

Buyer checklist

What to check before you buy a A318

1. Two engines, two histories. Each CFM56-5B has its own records. Check life-limited parts (LLP) remaining, the last shop visit and the next one due, engine by engine.
2. Engine type. The A318 was offered with CFM56-5B or PW6000 engines. PW6000 airframes were retired by 2019, so a CFM56-5B aircraft is the practical choice today.
3. Heavy maintenance. Date and findings of the last heavy check and what falls due next. The next check can change the value of the deal.
4. Landing gear. Overhaul status and time remaining on the main and nose gear.
5. Records. Back-to-birth records, airworthiness directives and service bulletins, damage and repair history.
6. Cabin. Current layout and seat count against your plan, including galleys, lavatories and in-flight entertainment.
7. Delivery conditions. Agree delivery and return conditions in writing: engine and airframe condition, records, paint and cabin.
8. Registration and transition. Plan the certificate of airworthiness and the change of registry early. Compare 21 aircraft registries.

Choosing

A318 or Boeing 737-600?

The two smallest jets of their families are almost the same size. The 737-600 is lighter and flies slightly farther; the A318 has the wider A320 family cabin and shares a type rating with the A319, A320 and A321.
