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'm not sure what the relevance of the A220 is here - Airbus has always planned to offer the GTF/Leap choice on all the A320neo family.

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?

Yes because of the A320 family type rating.

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...

AND very close to the ground! Wonder how much clearance there is? A hard, flat landing might add a dent or two in the lower cowling.
