Having succeeded in entering the world’s air transport sector with its widebody A300 and A310, Airbus faced a new challenge in 1984 – expanding into the short- and medium-haul market, long dominated by the 737 and DC-9.  Airbus anticipated operator needs and designed the single-aisle A320, which opened up new possibilities for operators around the globe. Company pioneers Roger Beteille and Bernard Ziegler discuss the “Airbus prodigy” in this premiere episode.

With the A320, Airbus had created an “elastic” aircraft tailor-made for the short and medium-haul market. The introduction of the A318, A319 and A321 versions with different fuselage lengths would expand this aircraft family, which profits from the unique benefits of Airbus operational commonality. This episode features highlights from the delivery ceremony of the first A320 to Air France, as well as comments from Airbus pioneers Henri Ziegler and Roger Beteille.
