Check out the Fleet Information doc in Deltanet. You can look at every tail number and their delivery date. 33 A320s are about +30y (1990- Mar 1993). The second tranch were delivererd in '97-99'. So for all intents, the entire 320 fleet age will average >30 years by the time the first Max arrives.
The 319s were delivered '99-'02. Avg age hits >30 in 2031. CASM is higher than 737-800, which is a big factor in retiring jets.
738 fleet '98-'02 deliveries. 6 ex Gol '10-'14. Fleet avg age almost identical to 319.
