Delayed again, at least the aircraft did a test flight overnight.

Is there any info on an updated return date?

The test flight was scheduled for the 29th (US) which is the 30th here. So the test flight was not delayed again. Depending on how the test flight went, it will ferry out on the 30th (US) to LAX to operate back to Australia on the 30th (US).

Well, it's flown!

I was referring to the in service date which had been the 29/4, indicating at least with the test flight we were close at last, not that the test flight had been delayed. I think you will find the aircraft is now doing VA2 on May 2 ex lax.

The test flight on the 29th(US) had been scheduled over a week ago. On it's way to LAX now.

Hopefully the rest will be more timely, must be a PITA which such a small fleet to have delays like that.

VPD is on it's way back to SYD as VA 2. VPH ferried into Lake Charles today.
