Jetstar Asia to shutdown on 31 July 2025

9 to JQ and 4 to Network (QF).

I have a suspicion that all 9 will go to Jetstar and 4 older A320s in Jetstar’s current fleet will go to Network. Same same just clever wording.

Network only gets the old rust buckets, Jetstar Asia has a newer fleet, these incoming aircraft are much newer compared to anything Network has. Jetstar has 4 more VH-VQ* models left in the fleet, the rest already went to Network. I’d say these will be sent to Network which leaves Jetstar with a fleet 2008 built onwards.

3K has 13 A320s, but I could see this potentially happening.

3K also has two oddball A320s that are ex Tiger/Scoot. Wouldn't be surprised if they end up at Network.

All 2010-2013 deliveries so no real younger/older aircraft . The ex Tiger/Scoot birds have the freshest paint jobs being relatively recent acquisitions.

Guess it all depends on how much they want to spend on refits or paint.

Having a look it seems like the below Jetstar aircraft, which are all the oldest, have finished up within the last week or two.

VQC ferries to BNE and parked
VQF ferries to China last week. Network conversions have been done here
VQJ also ferried to China last week to
VQK ferried to Seletar last week.

That would make sense. Those 4 will go to Network which will be replaced by the Jetstar Asia fleet.
