The longest and shortest Airbus A319 flights
The two ends of the type's working envelope, from the routes it actually flew — not what the airframe is certified to do.
Longest route flown
2,240 mi
Las Vegas – Montréal (LAS–YUL)
383 departures · 87% load
Flown by Air Canada Rouge. A long leg for a narrow-body twin — far enough from a diversion airport that the type carries an ETOPS rating.
Shortest route flown
73 mi
Colorado Springs – Denver (COS–DEN)
50m block · 533 departures · 81% load
Flown by United Airlines. About 50m of block time, most of it connecting traffic feeding the hub.

Who flies the Airbus A319
Two questions in one table. Airframes is what each carrier reported owning in its US DOT fleet filing; seats flown is how much of the type it actually operated. They can rank differently, and the gap is the interesting part.
| Operator | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| American AirlinesAA | 133 | 24.6M | 47.1% | 21.7 yr |
| United AirlinesUA | 81 | 11.8M | 22.5% | 20.6 yr |
| Delta Air LinesDL | 57 | 10M | 19.2% | 24.4 yr |
| Allegiant AirG4 | 33 | 4.7M | 8.9% | 13.9 yr |
| Global Crossing AirlinesGCA | 1 | 19.3K | 0.0% | 3.0 yr |
| Spirit AirlinesNK | 2 | — | — | 16.7 yr |
Airframes are the latest Form 41 filing; seats flown and share are US DOT T-100 for the type's most-flown operators — a dash means a carrier isn't among them (a freighter operator, or one that flies fewer).
How old is the US Airbus A319 fleet?
Age is measured from each airframe's delivery date — the FAA airworthiness date where available, otherwise the manufacturer's. Bars share a fixed scale across every fleet page, so two carriers can be compared directly.
