Yes, 9V-MGI is showing on Flightaware now with a scheduled departure of 11:00 (AEST) and an estimated 18:31 arrival into BNE this evening. Another after dark arrival!
Does anyone know if any maintenance has been carried out on this aircraft and will be done on the other six B738s in SIN prior to delivery to Virgin?

Great that it's on its way at last. I heard that VA went to a lot of effort sourcing (buying back?) seats from ex-VA 737s that have gone off to new homes, particularly to become freighters. I wonder how much you have to pay a freighter conversion company for seats that they don't even want!

The E-jet has been sitting around for years in VA colours!

FVQ ... interesting... wonder if it has been sold/leased.

Believe ZPR is off to join most of the ex VA E190 fleet in South Africa with Airlink, believe that ZPN, O and Q remain in storage
