REX 737 fleet disposal thread

[Dylan Hardie]

VA are looking at the ex Silk aircraft as they are in better condition

PAG has been repossessed by Avcro for due engineering bills

[Brenden S]

Does anyone have the full list of the fleet and where they are currently located?

RQG is well into the scrap process, missing engines and the wings

My money is on the -8SA frames, don't know the third. Virgin was already planning to take 2 more of those ex Silkair frames to make up for Max delays.

Hopefully not the one named for Michael McCormack.

Not sure how I missed that one, thanks!

VH-8ZL is stored in Brisbane with tape covering all ports and seals. Hopefully it gets picked up by VA.

$500M to 4800 creditors owed, I don’t think we should be limiting the disposals to just the 737s given assets on the half yearly report were 700M of which a fair bit would be intangible and not recoverable in administration.

Well the 737 flight sim will be sold (since they would no longer require it), would be interesting to see if the paint hangar at WGA will be put on the market and the unfinished Sydney hangar is anyone’s guess. The HQ in Mascot will likely be put on the market.

Would they sell any of the Saabs? Who knows. VH-ZPO hasn’t even been repainted or flown since it arrived and sitting out in the grass.
