The Airbus A318, known as the "Baby Bus," was the smallest and least commercially successful member of the revolutionary A320 family, representing Airbus's attempt to capture the 100-seat regional airliner market. First flown on January 15, 2002, it was a low-wing twin-engine airliner configured to carry 107 passengers in two-class layout or up to 132 in single-class configuration. With a length of 31 meters and powered by either CFM56-5B or Pratt & Whitney PW6000 turbofan engines, only 80 aircraft were produced during its 12-year production run from 2001 to 2013 by Airbus SE.
