A 320 Vs B 737
why companies at middle east prefer the A 320 rather than B737

air arabia
flynas
saudi airlines
etihadairways
qatarairways

and much more airlines at ME have A320 or waiting for A320 delivery

is the A320 that great and the B737 that bad

I guess it's because the cabin of the 'Bus is far more comfortable than that of the 737 - pax prefer it. Me included when I have to travel shorthaul anywhere...

Why?
Because Airbus sells the airframe upfront "cheeper". They just get it back on selling the parts to you later on.
