Looks like today (Jan 9) is in fact the last day of commercial service for AS/VX A320s, with N849VA doing 2 round trips between SEA and LAX. No ferry flights to graveyard/MRO facility filed per flightradar24.

Edit: N849VA filed LAX-VCV tomorrow (Jan 10) as AS9800. End of the AS/VX A320.

Wiki updated - i will periodically check in on the 320s and a few 319s periodically to see where they went after initial retirement from AS fleet and update the Wiki as necessary. Probably every other month or so...or when updates of the 321neos retirements begin later this year....anyone have intel in the schedule of when we see thier removal?

Also curious as to the when the last flights of the A321s will be. Right now they look to be included until the very end of the schedule which doesn't seem right.

They are currently the largest aircraft Alaska has at 190. The -9s are only 178. So i would suspect they are waiting until the -10 is going to come online. If there are significant delays - i wouldnt doubt they would remain for a while - they do like the fuel economy and the aircraft; its just the supply chain costs to service it thats the pain......

I would have loved that they get several of the LRs and perhaps branch out a little!

A321 flights

Seem the A321 mission has changed from transcon to west coast flying. I no longer see it scheduled for any of the transcon flights.

Jiburi
PS-I surely miss them on my AS transcon.

It's still scheduled on LAX-EWR and LAX/SFO-IAD interestingly as opposed to DCA

My bad, I didn't check those. Only checked, FLL, MCO, DCA, JFK, BOS, and I thought I checked EWR.... Don't know why they would be flying IAD as opposed to DCA either....

I'm seeing N921VA operating LAX-EWR LAX-IAD and even LAX-LIR. Also SEA-CUN. Similar for N922VA.Didn't check further.

Looks like a lot of EWR CUN and LIR flights ex LAX and CUN to/from SEA

Looks like the A321 fleet is centered around LAX with long distance flying to CUN LIR EWR and IAD, and with the IAD flights paired to SFO and the CUN flights paired to SEA. And then mixing in West Coast flights between LAX SFO and SEA for utilization and positioning.
