A-type supergiants are just at the boundary between the early type supergiants, with strong stellar winds driven by radiation pressure and the cool supergiants in which the origin of mass loss is the dissipation of mechanical energy. The mechanisms involved in the mass loss processes in A supergiants as a whole, are still uncertain.
