By Tim Hepher PARIS (Reuters) - The Airbus A320 is the workhorse of Europe's aerospace industry, transporting more than a million people a day from business travelers to backpackers. The 150-seat medium-haul jet is one of the world's most intensively used together with its main rival, the Boeing 737. Put together with the rest of the A320 family of twin-engined, single-aisle jets -- the A318, A319 and A321 -- more than 6,000 are in use several times a day, whether feeding passengers into hubs for traditional carriers or fuelling the growth of low-cost airlines. "The A320 family has a very good safety record considering that there is a fleet of ... 6,000 aircraft out there," said Paul Hayes, safety director at UK consultancy Ascend. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
