The aircraft seats up to 39 passengers, but may be outfitted by the customers into any configuration. Tyrolean Jet Service Nfg. GmbH & CO KG, [[MJET]] and [[Reliance Industries]] are among its users. The A319CJ competes with other ultralarge-cabin corporate jets such as the Boeing [[Boeing 737#737-700|737-700]]-based [[Boeing Business Jet]] (BBJ) and [[Embraer]] [[Lineage 1000]], as well as with large-cabin and ultralong-range [[Gulfstream G650]], [[Gulfstream G550]] and [[Bombardier Aerospace|Bombardier]]'s [[Global 6000]]. It is powered by the same engine types as the A320. The A319CJ was used by the ''[[Escadron de transport, d'entrainement et de calibration|Escadron de Transport, d'Entraînement et de Calibration]]'' which is in charge of transportation for France's officials and also by the Flugbereitschaft of the [[German Air Force]] for transportation of Germany's officials.

[[File:Airbus A319-151N, Airbus Industrie JP9105933.jpg|thumb|Airbus A319neo prototype at [[Toulouse–Blagnac Airport]].]]
The A319neo is the shortest variant of the Airbus A320neo family of [[airliner]]s developed since December 2010 by [[Airbus]],<ref name="A320ceo + A320neo family information">{{cite web |date=3 March 2013 |title=Airbus A320 (A320ceo and A320neo) Aircraft family |url=http://www.airbus.com/aircraftfamilies/passengeraircraft/a320family/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130303214628/http://www.airbus.com/aircraftfamilies/passengeraircraft/a320family/ |archive-date=3 March 2013 |access-date=21 April 2013 |publisher=Airbus.com}}</ref> with the suffix "neo" meaning "new engine option". It is the last step of the [[A320 Enhanced]] (A320E) modernisation programme, which was started in 2006. The A319neo replaces the original A319, which is now referred to as A319ceo, for "current engine option".

In addition to the new engines, the modernisation programme also included such improvements as: aerodynamic refinements, large curved [[winglet]]s (sharklets), weight savings, a new [[aircraft cabin]] with larger [[hand luggage]] spaces, and an improved air purification system.<ref name="enh1">{{cite web |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/pictures-airbus-aims-to-thwart-boeings-narrowbody-plans-with-upgraded-a320-207273/ |title=Pictures: Airbus aims to thwart Boeing's narrowbody plans with upgraded 'A320 Enhanced' |work=Flight International |date=20 June 2006 |access-date=8 July 2013 |archive-date=29 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181229180457/https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/pictures-airbus-aims-to-thwart-boeings-narrowbody-plans-with-upgraded-a320-207273/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="enh2">{{cite web |title=Avianca takes delivery of Sharklet equipped A320 |url=http://www.airbus.com/presscentre/pressreleases/press-release-detail/detail/avianca-takes-delivery-of-sharklet-equipped-a320 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130417132841/http://www.airbus.com/presscentre/pressreleases/press-release-detail/detail/avianca-takes-delivery-of-sharklet-equipped-a320/ |archive-date=17 April 2013 |access-date=27 March 2013 |publisher=Airbus.com}}</ref> Customers will have a choice of either the [[CFM International LEAP|CFM International LEAP-1A]] or the [[Pratt & Whitney PW1000G|Pratt & Whitney PW1100G]] engines.

These improvements in combination are predicted to result in 15% lower fuel consumption per aircraft, 8% lower operating costs, reduced noise production, and a reduction of [[NOx|nitrogen oxide (NO<sub>x</sub>)]] emissions by at least 10% compared to the A320 series, as well as an increase in range of approximately {{convert|500|nmi|km|sigfig=1}}.<ref name="A320neo information">{{cite web |date=1 July 2011 |title=A320neo family information, Maximum benefit and minimum change |url=http://www.airbus.com/aircraftfamilies/passengeraircraft/a320family/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130303214628/http://www.airbus.com/aircraftfamilies/passengeraircraft/a320family/ |archive-date=3 March 2013 |access-date=30 December 2011 |publisher=Airbus.com}}</ref>

The A319neo is the least popular variant of the Airbus A320neo family, with total orders for only 61 aircraft placed as of 30 September 2023, compared with 4,234 for the A320neo and 5,422 for the A321neo.<ref name="Airbus O&D" />

=== Military variants ===

==== A319 MPA ====
The Airbus A319 MPA (Maritime Patrol Aircraft) is a military derivative of the Airbus A319. Development was announced in 2018<ref>{{YouTube|id=faFxUoGt2WU|Airbus evaluates an A320neo multi-mission version}}</ref> by [[Airbus Defence and Space]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/a319mpa/|title=A319 MPA Maritime Patrol Aircraft|access-date=22 December 2016|archive-date=14 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190414183816/https://www.naval-technology.com/projects/a319mpa/|url-status=live}}</ref> to compete against the [[Boeing P-8 Poseidon]], which is a derivative aircraft of the Boeing 737 manufactured in the United States.

==== A319 OH ====
The new observation platform A319<abbr>OH</abbr>  which means "Offener Himmel" (meaning ''"<abbr>Open Sky"</abbr>'') is equipped with electro-optical sensors, an EO-S/digital camera and an infrared sensor (IR-S). It is  based on an A319CJ from Lufthansa Technik.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Germany certifies A319 OH Open Skies aircraft |url=https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/germany-certifies-a319-oh-open-skies-aircraft |access-date=2023-06-25 |website=Janes.com |date=6 October 2021 |language=en}}</ref>

This aircraft is designed for the [[German Air Force]] which uses it to perform surveillance missions as part of the [[Treaty on Open Skies]]. Twenty missions are planned every year by the German Air Force, and it is offered for lease to other countries who want to conduct such mission without the appropriate equipment.

=== Future variants ===

==== A319NAF ====
A319NAF (Neptune Aerial Firefighter) is an unofficial designation of the A319ceo converted by and for [[Neptune Aviation]], an aerial firefighting company based in the US state of [[Montana]]. On 6 December 2024, Neptune announced they had signed a developmental contract with Aerotec & Concept, a French aerospace engineering company, to jointly design, modify, and eventually certify a [[fire retardant]]/water tank installation on an A319ceo. The new tank will have a payload of at least 4,500 [[Gallons (US)|gallons]] (approx. 37,500 [[Pound (mass)|lb]]; 17 [[Tonne|tons]]), which is 50% greater than its current platform, the [[British Aerospace 146#BAe 146-200 / Avro RJ85|BAe 146-200A]]. The Airbus will supplement, and eventually replace, the BAe 146, of which the youngest in the fleet is over 33 years old. It is expected to enter service in spring/summer 2027.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Staff |first=NBC Montana |date=2024-12-06 |title=Neptune Aviation to upgrade airtanker fleet with Airbus A319 Aircraft |url=https://nbcmontana.com/news/local/neptune-aviation-to-upgrade-airtanker-fleet-with-airbus-a319-aircraft# |access-date=2024-12-13 |website=KECI |language=en}}</ref>
