Armenian Airline Armavia lost CN: 547 [ex VH-HYO] in the black sea and VH-HYS less than a couple weeks later in a hanger fire

VH-HYJ = CN: 142 = Hellas Jet
VH-HYB = CN: 23 = Air Luxor

CN: 331 = AZAC Azerbaijan Airlines

Jeez, talk about jinxed.

Going by those construction numbers these were some of the oldest
A320's flying. Especially CN 23.

I flew twice on Ansett A320's back in the day, once from Sydney to Brisbane and another from Melbourne to Sydney.

The one I got from Melbourne had a very nice brass/faux gold barometer type thing on the front bulkhead which had a woodgrain type finish, was the first time I had ever seen such a thing.

Same Here, I love the 320 Family

737's just look old, they aren't as nice looking and not as nice inside either,
Just my opinion

as well as hyo which crashed and hys which was burnt out in the hanger fire, i know that hya hyb and hyc have all been parted out in the united states, there may have even been another one parted in europe somewhere as it was stored and would have cost too much to get airworthy again..but i am not sure. the rest remain flying with scattered airlines across europe,

Ansett were one of the first customers of the A320 so it is no surprise some of their construction numbers are so low. Ansett's first A320, CN22 was also the first A320-200, it too has been scrapped. Below is a link to list of the A320's Ansett had. If you click on the MSN it will show it's full history including any scrappings or write offs.
