Just about to land in XSP.

PH‑BGR/OE-IBZ was withdrawn on 25/06/21.
Ferried, Amsterdam to Norwich on 26/07/21 to be painted all white.
Returned to Amsterdam 02/08.

Expect the regos to be in the VH-Nxx series. Not numbered regos yet.

The first one, 3728, will be VH-NBV

And despite the new Virgin rebranding the first ex KLM -700 has been photographed in standard VA livery.

Aren't they operating under the VA AOC so that they can be used anywhere on the VA Network

NBV was added to the register on 12/09/2022 to VIRGIN AUSTRALIA AIRLINES PTY LTD

Yup. They can be flown by any Virgin 737 pilot on any Virgin route. The existing VARA F100 pilots will effectively transfer to the VAA AOC and pay/work conditions, they can fly any 737NG anywhere. And potentially Max in the nearish future. The work rules will be altered to permit some of the early morning charter ops.

6 more 737-700s are now listed in the 'Future' fleet for VA, no VH- regos yet.
All are ex-KLM, PH-BGX/BGK/BGL/BGT/BGU/BGW

Interestingly, 3 are still flying with KLM.
