I voted for this a while back, just giving it a gentle bump, as this is the only aircraft missing from the inventory that would complete the current Jetstar fleet.
They’re a rarity to catch, as there is only 8 of them in service but they mainly fly between capital cities. Although, they are also known to fly popular, high demand routes such as Sydney-Cairns-Sydney, Sydney-Gold Coast-Sydney, Melbourne-Cairns-Melbourne, Melbourne-Gold Coast-Melbourne and even Melbourne-Townsville-Melbourne (Jetstar usually uses an A320 on this route, but quite commonly the flight gets so full they have to require an A321.)
This is a good idea to add Jetstar livery to the A321 as we currently have got only the A320 and the 787-8, both of which are the only planes to have Jetstar livery.
Definitely! For a subsidiary airline with 128 aircraft in the fleet and an expansive network across Australia, Japan, Vietnam and a hub in Singapore, we need more than just a 787 (which is only used for international flights from Australia) and an A320. They have the A320neo and A321LR on order too.
And for Jetstar, the 320 and the 321 makes a maasive difference too, somehow. I don’t know what it is, it just does 🧐, but really, about time we need this 🔥
Yes please definitely needed! Or the other alternative is put on as the A321 NEO LR series when the developers decide to make it. Love to fly that in future!
I would also love to see this! Hopefully we can see the A321neo being added so we can also get the new Jetstar A321neo livery added too! More Aussie aircraft!
