1st Flight of Airbus A319neo with Pratt & Whitney GTF engines
A319neo has made its first flight with new engines, Pratt & Whitney GTF.
I think after A220 they have replaced A319neo engines with Pratt & Whitney. |

I read it was the same A319 used for the CFM-LEAP testing. Whether an engine option is available is mostly up to the engine manufacturers and a matter of whether they they think they can get enough market share to make it worthwhile.

Now that Airbus has the A220 will the A319 even be relevant anymore?

It is indeed, the nacelles can make it look quite "un-Airbus" like IMHO.
.. I caught quick glimpse of it ( distant side view) in flight the other day and to my shame had to resort to one of the tracking sites to ID it... :\ |
Must be a nice aircraft to fly by the looks of it.

Looks like a much larger design that has been chopped, tail looks way out of scale.
These engines are getting really big these days... |
