Virgin ATR Routes

For the third time this week, Virgin Australia have changed the introductory schedule for the SYD-CBR-SYD ATR-72 service.

All other ATR-72 services (BNE-GLT-BNE, BNE-PQQ-BNE and SYD-PQQ-SYD) currently remained unchanged.

Seems that means the end of "Capital Jet" service, at least for Sydney.
But anyone knows when will VA's ATR-72 get delivery to Australia?

Delivery of the first aircraft was on the 11th August.

VA's AT7 will not only serve SYD - CBR it will also service from mid-October:

Sounds fun to do a Port Macquarie stopover on board a ATR-72 between Brisbane and Sydney.

And according to your previous post Oliver, the first plane should have touched down somewhere in Australia now :D

SYD-PQQ is missing, but it should be obvious where it goes!

That was hand over of the aircraft to Skywest. First aircraft will arrive in Australia next week.

In regards to Arthur T's post. The SYD-CBR-SYD services have now changed, if you look at the first post, you can see the updated schedules, click on the images.

Thanks.
I was copying from Airlineroute, and it said further changes could be possible too.
Anyone knows the Rego for VA's ATR-72?

I have the following...

MSN954 - Test Rego - F-WWEG - Airline Rego - VH-FVH
MSN955 - Test Rego - F-WWEH - Airline Rego - VH-FVI
MSN966 - Test Rego - F-WW?? - Airline Rego - VH-???
