Perfect, thanks for straightening those.

I usually go here: https://www.planespotters.net/airlin...stern-Airlines or here: https://www.airfleets.net/ageflotte/...20Airlines.htm but landed in a different place this time and while it looked similar, it was neither of them. Used Bing, maybe that's why.

Not sure how to obtain numbers from FR24 but if they saw them fly surely they did. I honestly meant 150 planes needed not 15.
I checked that for you. According FR24, MU does have 290 A319/320/321 airplanes.
Please have a second look: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/a...s/mu-ces/fleet, I see 361 single-aisle Airbii not 290 (my original source suggested 290 flying and 65 stored before the crash).

But you're right, adding 40+30+300 is not 470 now I scared myself from reading that post again. Should have resulted in 125 required to fly the schedule.

These guys https://www.planespotters.net/airlin...stern-Airlines indicate 106 pcs of -800 grounded alongside additional 163 A32x(n)s. Supports my suggestion CEAir has parked significantly more frames for commercial reasons than induced by the reaction to accident.
