Air Vanuatu
 

Report on stuff.co.nz that Air Vanuatu have 'grounded' flights and entered Voluntary Administration.

• Air Vanuatu has cancelled or adjusted some 20 international flights.
• The airline has reportedly been placed into administration.
• Air Vanuatu said it is working with partner airlines to minimise disruption and will contact affected customers.

They have suffered quite a bit of late, with AOG and needing to enlist other airlines (Nauru / Solomon) to help them out.

YJ-AV8, 738, ex Air Vanuatu is now registered HL8700, owner ALC, to Eastar Jet. It departed MEL on 25/7/24 for Kota Kinabalu-BKI arrived at 7.16pm. Then on 7/9/24, I can only find, Jinan-TNA to Seoul, Gimpo-GMP, 2.19pm/4.45pm. It obviously went BKI to TNA sometime??

ESR142D MEL-BKI, departing 1320L 25/7/2024 and arriving 1916L 25/7/2024
ESR142D BKI-? , departing 2101L 25/7/2024 and last seen 0149L 26/7/2024 at 37°02'52.0"N 122°27'05.0"E
ESR142D ?-GMP, first seen 1429L 7/9/2024 at 37°03'57.4"N 122°22'54.6"E and arriving 1648L 7/9/2024

That's all I could find, have no idea where it stayed between 26/7 and 7/9, perhaps someone with a paid FR24 account may be able to help.

TNA is the missing stop, arriving there at 0244 on the 26th and departing at 1419 on the 7th
