It's almost 24 years old. The plane did look pretty "beat up" on the inside.

The flight on the way there was in this plane:

Although it was almost as old as the first one, it looked in much better shape.

I guess I know which one of the two will be part of the first to be transferred to ACr...
A319s are going to Rouge. Ironically, the 319s are younger than the 320s. I guess that makes sense if AC wants to keep them for a while under Rouge.

You'll have to wait for the 737s to replace the 320s, but not before 2018-ish. Luckily for AC, Airbus extended the service life of its 320 family to 60,000 cycles.
