Keep an eye out for VH-VFN sporting a special decal as Jetstar's 100th aircraft.

This is also the first Jetstar (Australia) A320 with sharklets.

I haven't crunched the numbers but does anyone know if the 100 frames includes every aircraft that has operated in the Jetstar group - such as the start up 717s and the Jetstar Pacific 734s for example?

Actually, I can answer my own question there...

The Jetstar Source lists the current fleet as:

Jetstar (Australia)

A330-200 x11
A321 x 6
A320 x50

Jetstar Asia

A320 x19

Jetstar Pacific

A320 x4
B737-400 x3

Jetstar Japan

A320 x7

This totals 100 aircraft so does not include the 14 B717s and one A320 (VN-A196) and one B737-400 (PK-LIG) from BL
