They will be flying Trans Tasman also as they get more planes.

Ah ok, very interesting.

Reported in one of the other forums that they are taking VP-CJA (former VH-VOQ)
I note that it has positioned from CGK to ASP via DRW, is that into storage? or another reason to visit ASP?

There was a comment on FB that it was being stored at APAS… I’m not sure how true that is though?

Mm ok, would make sense .. not sure it would bother transiting ASP otherwise.

Just read on another aviation site that Texel Air Australasia is their new name

www.texelair.co.nz

Also they will have a fleet of 3 aircraft soon with a 737-300F and a 737-700FC
which is combi .This will be the first of type in our region.

I guess the 733F will transit BNE and the 700 probably via CNS when these 2 get delivered to AKL.

I guess SYD will see this airline soon and perhaps MEL and BNE down the track.

Lloyd, they started NZ ops with a 733 A9C-APC “Samantha” and I don’t think it left when the 737-800 took over, bit hard to tell as she’s blocked.
