Morning All
flightaware.com and skyliner-aviation.de have been reporting N904ME (to become VH-NXR) on delivery MIA-BIL-ANC as Southern Cross 918. Arrived into ANC on Monday afternoon (their) local time. Hasn't shown up with a departure out of ANC though (ANC is not showing any B717 departures at all). Cheers Rowan |
VH-XFC
Virgin Australia A330 on its way to you guys, passed along the english channel not so long ago....
Airbus A330 -243 1293 VH-XFC Virgin Australia delivery 05-06apr12 TLS-KUL-SYD ex F-WWYU http://airbusdeliveries.blogspot.co....tes-no680.html |
Morning All!
N904ME (VH-NXR) is either in, or on its way to, Magadan in Russia continuing its delivery to Oz as SXA918. Have a great Easter weekend!! Cheers Rowan |
Looks like VH-XFC is scheduled to go KUL-MEL today, arriving into Melbourne at 2320 tonight.
VH-NXR should be in the country on Sunday. It's 1st Aussie port is Darwin, then it will head down to Adelaide for pre-service checks. |
Hey Stefan, yeah guessed VH-NXR would probably be heading to ADL for pre-service. Still reg'd N904ME from the info I've seen on the web, presumably until after pre-service. In any case, it landed at DRW at 6.35pm local time today... so given ADL curfew it'll probably head down there tomorrow. Will be interesting to see whether it's still with Southern Cross Aviation until it hits ADL or whether Cobham will take it from DRW themselves?

What is happening with VH-FVU, it appears it is still yet to enter service.
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/VHFVU Also on the topic of ATRs, when is the first ATR72-600 due for Virgin/Skywest? |
From Puget Sound ...

Zac interesting question re the the 5th ATR and the 6th which had it's ferry flight terminated.
:o |
FVX's ferry flight was terminated??? What's the story there Lloyd???
Seems odd with FVU that they'd fly it BNE-CBR one day then CBR-BNE the next, nothing between or immediately surrounding it. It's almost like they're "route proving" (albeit without simulating a normal turnaround) but surely they wouldn't be that stupid!? Would they...??? |
The next VA A330 VH-XFD is being delivered to SYD.
|
Does anyone know when VH-XFC will enter service? It's been delivered for 2 weeks now.
|
First Hawaiian A330 will arrive Sydney tonight on schedule at 19:20. Aircraft operating the flight is N385HA - newest (currently - there are 2 more being delivered this month) in the fleet.

CASA have put the brakes on Skywest adding more aircraft to their AOC.
|
Evening all,
Skyliners is reporting that new Virgin Australia A330-200 VH-XFD is to begin its delivery flight tomorrow 26/4/12. It is showing TLS-KUL-SYD (Same as XFC). So not sure if it will go to Sydney or MElbourne like XFC did. |
Hi Stefan,

VH-VZZ is on its way to HNL as we speak as QF6024.
