narrowbody
Thin commercial jet
A narrowbody is a commercial airplane with a single aisle running down the cabin, typically seating five or six passengers per row.
These aircraft handle short- to medium-haul routes: The airline uses narrowbodies for domestic flights.
The term distinguishes them from widebody jets, which have two aisles and greater passenger capacity for long-haul travel.
