I was preparing a friend for the worst for taking UA 896 HKG - ORD and the 8 across old business class. Then on Dec 18th UA 896 was flown by N224UA and he got the new Polaris seating. He thought the 17 year old 772 was a new plane

lucky guy.

Update on the Shaheen Air A319s coming to UA. Through some FAA database digging I was able to gather some further information.

OE-IHF (AP-BNI) ---> N4866U ----- Currently located in GYR
OE-IHI (AP-BNL) ---> N5867U ----- Currently located in GYR
OE-IHC (AP-BNM) ---> N4868U ----- Currently located in GYR
OE-IHJ (AP-BNN) ---> No known UA N number yet but is tagged to UA at Airfleets.net. Currently located in GYR
*Highly likely that this aircraft is tagged to N4869U. N4869U has been registered by UA with the FAA but the FAA database does not show that a specific aircraft has been associated with it yet

There are two A319s still unspoken for (AP-BNJ and AP-BNK), both are within the age range UA has been acquiring

There are also three A320s that are unspoken for that I would imagine UA is considering picking up. All three are within the age range that UA has been acquiring. There are 4 other former Shaheen Air A320s available, though all 4 are likely older than UA wants.
OE-IHL (AP-BLM) - 12yrs old --- Currently in France
OE-IHH (AP-BMD) - 13.5yrs old --- Currently in France
OE-IHB (AP-BMC) - 13.5yrs old --- Currently in France

In other news, in the last 30 days UA appears to have purchased the following aircraft off leases:
--- 8 x E145LRs
--- 1 x 737-800

**The 9 aircraft are all currently flying for UA but does show to a strengthening of UA's financial position
