This baby bus seems to be a very successful for Airbus

Political motivations
As if there was any other reason
SAA want a good deal on widebodies from Airbus.. so they buy some 320’s to keep airbus sweet.
Still, that Livery looks good regardless of airframe

The SA livery looks really good on the A319, and yes thats a total surprise to me i thought SA were looking to expand their 737NG fleet instead of retiring it, but then at least with the Airbus short haul models they will have better commonolity in their fleet.

It was decided a while back that SAA would retire the 737NGs and get back airbus narrowbodies. A319s and A320s. Not sure if A321s are also part of the mix. Combine that with the orders for A330s and A340s and it won´t be long till SAA is completely Airbus except for the 747 fleet. A fleet that might be replaced by A346s and/or A380s in the long run.
