Here’s a summary of what I found out about HS-BBV (an Airbus A320-216 of Thai AirAsia) — its history, specs, and what is known about its operations. If you want, I can dig into more detailed flight logs, maintenance records, or incidents.⸻✈️ Basic Identity & Specs • Type: Airbus A320-216 (Short/Medium-range single-aisle aircraft)  • Manufacturer Serial Number (MSN): 7057  • Version: SL (“Short-Range / no winglets” or simpler config) though some sources list WL (Winglets). There is some mix in sources.  • Registration: HS-BBV, owned/operated by Thai AirAsia ⸻📅 History & Key Dates • First flight / Delivery: The aircraft was built in 2016 (first flight / delivery around March–April 2016) for Thai AirAsia.  • Age: As of 2025, it is around 9 years old. ⸻🔍 Operational Use & Notes • It’s in regular passenger service for Thai AirAsia, flying domestic and regional routes.  • Tracking & history data confirm many past flights and continued operation; nothing in the data I found suggests major damage or write-off. ⸻⚠️ Incidents / Accident History • I did not find any record of a major accident or serious incident involving HS-BBV in publicly-available sources. No major hull losses or serious mishaps came up. • Of course, that does not preclude smaller incidents, mechanical issues, or maintenance events that were not widely reported.⸻If you like, I can pull up detailed incident logs, flight hours, or maintenance history of HS-BBV to check for less well-known events. Do you want me to do that?
