reply# 1) At the moment we have only two A319s with Tiger Airways, both based in Singapore and both recently arrived fresh from the factory. We had nine A320s, one of which has left for Tiger Australia, and one is being returned to the leasing company leaving us with seven A320s and two A319s for the Singapore operation. I haven't heard of any other aircraft being returned.
reply # 2) There are only two 319s in our fleet and as far as I know, Tiger Airways have no intention to add anymore 319s. The rest being 320s and two of them will be returning to the leasing company in the next few months. You can rest assured that our 319s are brand new-straight out from Hamburg and I personally ferried the second one, therefore, I have no clue as in how the idea of four 319s were seconded to us.
I am digging to know where this (these) A320(s) are going.
Folks...enough of speculating...
Here is where all of our aircraft went....
Spirit Airlines Fleet of A319 (History) - Airfleets
2 to Mandala (Indonesia) - an Indigo company
3 to Wind Jet (Italy)
1 to TAME (Equador)
1 to Cyprus Airways
