Airbus has stated pretty much this when the A220 was unveiled this summer. The cost to produce a 321 over 319 is minimal, and they’d rather give a ‘deal’ on the 321’s as it still ensures profitability to Airbus as a whole.

If you look at some of the aviation business propaganda rags, occasionally you’ll discover a gem of an article talking about the dynamics of the 330Neo flagging sales and the anchor that is the A380. Airbus has a winner in the 321Neo, LR and newer (but not yet greenlit) 321XLR. The XLR, if launched, will attempt to preempt the success of the Boeing NMA/797 by being ‘good enough’ and available before the 797’s maiden flight.

All of that basically signals that the 319Neo, while available, will not be sold on the cheap.
