2 A319 due very soon
1 A320 for sale and not sold (most recent results by EI)
2 A320 lease ending (intended to be replaced by A319) unlikely to happen so they will be renewed.
Plenty of A320 laying in DUB waiting lease from failed carriers accross Europe.

Iberia is due to get rid of about 25 acft from its short haul fleet and I suspect that A319s will be among these (the current and imminently expected A319s are ex-IB), so acquiring some of these from IB may make sense from a commonality point of view.

I know there is a fair few acft from ground airlines at DUB, but many of these have the wrong engines and there can be little details here and there that can cause commonality issues.

I'd be surprised if EI didn't look at these.
