Based on my recent experience, they would be sorely needed on the SYD/MEL/BNE triangle, as well.

I think a fleet of 10 is only a start, and there will be quite a few more soon enough.

I reckon the slow turn around time make them less than ideal on the 90 min sectors. At least they only take up one Code C gate, unlike 330s.

The impact of the larger size is somewhat reduced, though, by using both the forward and rear doors for boarding.

true, but a -10 will take longer than a -8 or a -800, and there goes the schedule.

Is it really going to take a full 60min extra as opposed to a B73H to turn around though? I can foresee maybe 50min turns, but I doubt it would even take that long...

No, probably not an hour. The A330 takes 80 min. But anything more than 35 min would throw out the cadence of 1:25 flight, 35 min turn and another flight two hours after the first.

80 minute turns on domestic as well?

From the latest Airliner World

THE VIRGIN Australia Group is converting ten of its commitments for the Boeing 737 MAX into firm orders for the largest member of the family, the 737 MAX 10. The Brisbane-based airline has 40 aircraft on order since signing the original contract for the
type in July 2012.

Geoff Smith, Virgin Australia Group's chief financial officer said in a statement: “We are
pleased to be welcoming the 737 MAX 10 into our expanding fleet in 2022. The introduction of this variant will provide us with additional flexibility and capability to support our network and operations. We are proud to become Australia’s first
operator of the 737 MAX and look forward to the opportunities that operating this type of aircraft will open for us.”

Im currently teaching for names of the following VA aircraft;
A320-
VNJ

F100
FNC

I believe FNY is the only one in the Skywest livery now??

FNJ Talbot Bay
FNN Cape Naturaliste
FNR Lake Argyle
FNU Roebuck Bay
FSQ Bill's Bay
FWH Swan River (Same name used by QLink)

Subject to change/alteration or just being wrong

It appears the others on my list except for FZO are nameless, FWI doesn't even have the Virgin girl on the nose

FNY is the last Skywest livery F100

At least 2 more 320s heading to VARA soon.

May I ask which Virgin A332 now fitted with WiFi?

Yes, you may. VH-XFG is the only one thus far.

VA have just announced a delay to their 737Max order to 2021 and a significant increase in Max10 orders (reducing Max8s by the same amount)

The announcement says 15 orders have been converted to the MAX10. Is that in addition to the 10 that were mentioned in August last year, or is this the finalisation/confirmation of that change, which has now been increased to 15?

The ASX release shows a new total of 25 Max 10s (and 23 Max 8s).

The Max 10s now arriving first, from July 2021 with Max 8s only arriving from February 2025.

I have questions about what VA do between now and mid 2021 to continue modest domestic growth. There's not much more to squeeze out of the 738 fleet.
