9th March 2016 - VH-ZPD Leaves Nashville Maintenance, Positions to Roswell.
Embraer 190 VH-ZPD departed the Nashville maintenance facility this morning and positioned Nashville - Roswell as VA9904.

Stored, Roswell ?

[Rob R]

It's at Roswell for painting as there are no paint facilities in Nashville. It will reposition back to Nashville in 7-10 days.

[Greg Hyde]

Has the new owners been announced as yet ?

Was mexico - now middle east airline.

ch-aviation announced on 11/03/2016 that

Atrak Air (AK, Tehran Mehrabad) has acquired six Embraer Regional Jets and three A320ceo airline sources have told the Aviation Iran magazine. The three Airbus Industrie (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac) twinjets will reportedly deliver in June of this year, adding to the carrier's existing fleet of three A320-200s (only one of which is currently operational).

[Rob R]

All five have apparently been purchased by a lease company. Current information suggests ZPD will be heading to the Middle East and ZPG to Mexico. Until the aircraft are painted and delivered, nothing is confirmed.

Hi,

VA 738 VH-YFW appeared on the CASA aircraft register a couple of weeks ago.

However VH-YFW is no longer on the register...

Regards,

Steve
