| | AIN Online 2000: A319, Flying the A319, prelude to the corporate jetliner |
 | | The A319 has an mtow of 166,100 lb, a max landing weight of 137,500 lb, and the airplane we flew had a zero fuel weight of 89,950 lb. |
 | | Such was the setting for this writer and two others to fly an Airbus A319 as an early evaluation of its suitability to enter the business aircraft fleet as an Airbus A319CJ (Corporate Jetliner). |
 | | The Airbus A319CJ, with minor exceptions, will be identical to the A319 airline version, an advantage, as Airbus sees it, in the event the airplane should transition from corporate to airline service. |
