Interesting that they only ordered 3x A321s. I understand there's a lot of commonality between the A320 and A321, but that seems like an oddly small number for a sub-fleet.

I had been vaguely hoping that the economics of the A321 might allow a return to a business class cabin on the Tasman... but if only 3 aircraft are on order that seems highly unlikely... unless it's to replace where the 763 is currently used on the Tasman/Pacific islands? Any other predictions on where we're likely to see the A320 deployed?
