Volotea A319s

[tonyb]

Have noticed that photos of Volotea A319s show some with single overwing exit per side, some with two as easyJet and on A320s, plus a third layout which looks like a second exit added a row or two back from the first as a retrofit?
Could anyone confirm if this unique to Volotea or do other operators have this layout?

Some of Volotea's A319s have a "Cut here" outline 4 windows aft of the E/E. Are you sure that's not what you're seeing ?

I believe that if the A319 has more than 150 seats, 4 overwing exits are required.

There's a little bit more to it (i.e. if the aircraft has Type C* exits), but that's essentially the case. Volotea's ex-EZY A319s have the double E/E for that reason.

Silence from the OP - perhaps he didn't get the answer he was looking for.

Easyjet wanted 156 seats in their A319's so an extra pair of over-wing exits were added by AB.

A few other airlines such as Germania also took this option to enable high density Ops.

I think Volotea obtained a couple of a/c with the extra exits.

No aftermarket exits have ever been added to any Airbus' -

Dan Air and Monarch both added extra exits to secondhand 727-100's and 720B's to enable more pax, and at BMA we enlarged the aft of the wing hatch on our 3 707-320C's in 1982 with a new 757 type (aka door 3) to enable 212 pax ( with a slide...)

Yes, as I alluded to in my previous post, some of Volotea's A319s are ex-EasyJet (5 of them). Those have the double E/E on each side and 156 seats.

Thank you all for your explanations.I had not realised the added cut here markings existed these days.
