The Airbus A318 is the smallest member of the A320 family, which is why it is sometimes referred to as the Mini-Airbus or Baby-bus. During development it was known as the A319M3, indicating that it is a derivative of the A319 but with 3 fewer fuselage sections (or frames). The aircraft is 6 m (meters) shorter and 14 t (tons) lighter than its predecessor.
