narrow-body

Thin-fuselage jet type

A narrow-body aircraft has a single aisle running down the center of the passenger cabin, with seats arranged three-by-three or similar configurations on either side.

These planes handle shorter routes and smaller passenger loads than wide-body jets: The airline uses narrow-bodies for domestic flights.

The term also describes anything with a slender profile.
