Hi Grahame
Interesting to see the -XZ series being applied to B737s as this block was allocated to the B787 many moons ago but the constant delays and decreasing numbers of available regos reguired that block to be allocated elsewhere. So I wonder if the time has come for Austrlia to investigate new methods of allocating registrations - ie numbers and letters perhaps - ie VH-123QF or perhaps four letters - ie VH-XZAA ? Cheers Bob |

G'day Bob... with 1206 available marks (as of 8am today) I think the issue should be more about asking airlines why they feel it's necessary to have 'blocks' of registrations and why they can't simply cherry pick the marks they like from those available. And perhaps also taking back the marks allocated to aircraft that haven't flown for longer than 'x' amount of time (there was talk of that happening a few years ago).

That's funny - when I logged in to that Puget Sound website an hour ago, it had listed the new 738 VH-YIR as being line number 4172 and had undetaken its first flight.
It is now not on there. |

New QantasLink DH8-400 VH-LQJ is apparently scheduled to enter service today as QF1484 CBR-SYD at 5.35pm.

VH-LQJ has left Canberra on QF1472. Was resting outside the hanger when I left the airport late this morning, and according to flight aware it will be arriving into Sydney at 13:32.
