Virgin acknowledging further delays to Max 8 deliveries, Haneda to launch with 737-700.
http://https://www.executivetraveller.com/news/virgin-australia-boeing-737-max-delivery-delay[/URL] VBY is in AUH getting updates to make this possible, presumably VBZ following soon after. The ex KLM 700s can't be upgraded to the required standard. |

What update works are required to enable the two -700s to fly to HND?

They would have to change AOCs as well I would think to VAI?

There are only two in the VA stable, VA and VARA that are active, with the Tiger AOC retained for future use.
