What Is Narrowbody? Definition & Meaning in Aviation

A narrowbody (or single-aisle) aircraft has one aisle in the cabin and is used on short and medium routes.

In plain language

Examples are the Airbus A320 family and the Boeing 737. They make up most of the airliners flying domestic routes in Pakistan.

Example

Most flights between Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad use narrowbody aircraft.

Why it matters

Narrowbodies carry most of the flights people take within Pakistan. Their size and range define which routes airlines can serve economically.
