Jetstar A320neo

[Lauren J]

Thought I would make a separate thread for the A320NEOs.

Jetstar's first A320NEO will be registered VH-A5A. It is currently in Toulouse in the new Jetstar livery (minus engines and winglets), registered F-WWTR. The first photos of it have now been published: https://aviation.flights/aib/A320/12328

The first five A320NEOs for Jetstar will be:
VH-A5A (MSN 12328)
VH-A5B (MSN 12229)
VH-A5C (MSN 12374)
VH-A5D (MSN 12545)
VH-A5E (MSN 12556)

The above post (#310 of the A321neo thread) shows A5Es MSN to be 12546 whereas Lauren's post on 26 September on this thread shows A5Es MSN to be 12556.

Can someone please confirm the correct MSN for VH-A5E. Many thanks.

My apologies, post #310 was mine and I made a typo. The correct MSN is 12556, I will amend my incorrect post now.
