Alliance E190 Arrivals

[Greg Hyde]

They have around 10 frames stored at MCN.

I expect that will come from that lot.

Check up-thread and for a listing.

Does Alliance still have links to the company in Slovakia?

Alliance Aviation Slovakia was mentioned in the FY24 Financial Report as well as:

The Group commenced base maintenance activities at the Rockhampton hangar in November 2023. In addition to this capacity the Group use a number of base maintenance providers including Jet Aviation in Cairns, Fokker Services Asia in Singapore, Austrian Airlines Technik in Slovakia, Coopesa in Costa Rica and KLMUK in the United Kingdom to fill shortfalls as Rockhampton works towards full capabilities.

My guess, Yes It does.

So they could use this as a facility to remove & ship engines back too Oz.

Also, last month QQ had a massive advertising blitz to get qualified engineers for the Rocky base. This included an item on the local TV news.

XFM due for its first run tomorrow to Brisbane on behalf of VA as well as XFC about an hour late

Looks like UYJ is leaving the Air North fleet, it is due to leave DRW in 55 minutes as QQ9826 for BNE.

UYC is still flying for Air North, so is it going to leave Air North after XFM goes into service, or is it going to stay???

2 Air North E190's flew DRW-BNE this afternoon..VH-XFM and VH-XFL.
They are still here and about to depart back to DRW.

Both operating for VA.

Alliance F100 VH-XWP operated the TL183/182 rotation today TSV to DRW return on behalf of AirNorth. Presumably this was to cover the VA charters on the E190’s. F100’s in the Friday schedule going forward with E190’s operating Monday’s and Wednesday’s.
