This is the Airbus A320, presently the best-selling aircraft family on the market. While there are only 10 ceo airframes left in the fleet, they played a crucial role in making Dragon Airways what they are today and still operate a sizeable proportion of Dragon's flights.

The A320ceo has been featured in Dragon Airways' narrowbody fleet since the 2000s. The first order for the A320 was placed in 2003 when the airline began its restructuring, aiming to brand itself as a dynamic, modern airline representative of Hong Kong. The carrier would end up operating more than 30 examples of the A320 at its peak, but began retiring the jet in the late 2010s as the more efficient A320neo joined the fleet.

The 10 remaining A320ceo examples in Dragon Airways' fleet operate short, frequent shuttle routes, most commonly seen plying Mainland routes as well as a few visits to Korea, Taiwan and Japan. There are two seating configurations, both featuring plush recliner Business Class seating and the typical narrowbody economy fixtures, in Dragon's fleet, allowing for greater flexibility for the airline when operating the A320 to its various destinations.
