They seem to be getting aircraft from far and wide.

Good for the spotters.

Was doing some research earlier and all of GOL’s 738 fleet are configured in a Y186 layout, with the exception of 40235/3053 PR-GZV which is in a C12Y156 configuration. She’s 14 years old and has a long list of operators, interestingly one of which is Jet Airways where -MFM also served.

Thanks for that, Greg. Do we know if 9V-MGM is still being considered for lease by REX? Also, will RQC be returning to the leaser or to service with REX after its current maintenance in CRK and will RQG be returning to the leaser at the end of its lease period?

[Dylan Hardie]

RQC returns from CRK on the 14th with RYU heading up the following day. RQG will be removed when the lease is up and due to be converted to a freighter to a US company
