No. Standard A320, operating as a 319 with 3 FAs. Of course for TP that also meant "no service due to operational difficulties" (read = lazy FAs and stupid union regs).

Now we're talking about "seating capacity" ... I guess you can wiggle out of this by blocking some seats, thus reducing seating capacity, which is probably what happened here and is subject to interpretation in each EU country's legislation
