Tom/PER 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2011 Something interesting I noticed on Skyliner tonight... Looks like Air Asia have picked up a white tail A320 that was originally destined for Air Berlin off the delivery line, c/n is 4917. Believed to be in Singapore (Seletar) at the moment. Doesn't say whether it's for AK, FD, QZ or PQ (Phillipines). Might be one to watch out for as it's a -232 model not a -216. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted November 15, 2011 Might be for AirAsia Japan - although the target is to start in August, TF has mentioned more than once that he would prefer an April start. That means using leased aircraft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
