[Lauren J]

These new 10A320neo will directly replace the 10 non refurbished ceos.

Which are the non-refurbished ones? Is that just the VH-XN_ and VH-YX_ block?

[Sean L]

Only remaining 180Y A320s for JQ are the XNx and YXx block (if you want to count those). And VFY, VQE, VQF, VQM

Which are the non-refurbished ones? Is that just the VH-XN_ and VH-YX_ block?

[Lauren J]

Thanks, I am just confused as that adds up to 13 aircraft and it was stated that there were ten that were non-refurbished :)

[Ayden H]

PS.N is reporting that the next 32Qs for JQ are OYR, OYT, OYU, OYV, OYW, OYX and OIR. I believe OIR could be their first A321XLR but I'm not 100% certain (reported currently as a -251NX but could change)

[Greg Hyde]

Ayden, have a look at the A321XLR arrival thread and you will see that the QF A321XLR will be using the VH-OGx block

[Ayden H]

I'm talking about Jetstar's XLRs, not QF's. I am already aware that QF's XLRs are using the OGx block.

[Greg Hyde]

The XLR's are designated A321-xxxNY

[lloyd fox]

Some people have said that VH-OYT has a grey shade rather than silver livery on the fuselage?

It looks different?

[Greg Hyde]

Saw that as well, wondering if it was the lighting/camera angle ...

[Ayden H]

Nah, I've heard that jetstar did slightly change the grey/silver on the livery, looks the same on OYR, OYU and A5A.

You are absolutely correct. It is different. No more silver mica, as they are all going to be coming out solid grey from here on in. The paint is lighter on the aircraft, and it’s easier to do patch up paint work when required.

The silver seems to go back to mica with OYR.

Just took off from XFW as JQ8991

[Ayden H]

Here she is on the 'positive climb, gear up' stage. The final aircraft to be delivered in the Silver Mica paint, the rest will have the new grey. Any lighter and it'd look like the livery the 717s were painted in during their brief stint at JQ.

Yes, they are the LR version of the A321NX: A321NXLR. Like you mentioned, the XLR is the A321NY.

[Ayden H]

They aren't designated A321-251NXLR though. Just NX.

[Greg Hyde]

How many more are coming

Good Question...

The original order was for 18 but QF has an option for another 80ish of the A320neo family. This gives them the ability to add more A321's and less A320's if required.

[Lauren J]

There are currently 18 in the fleet with another four slated for delivery. I would love to see a fleet insight to see how many they’re expecting to receive vs how many are just options.

[MarkR]

Jetstar have had 5 deliveries from the 8 scheduled in FY25 with 4 more in FY26, total order is 25
