Alliance E190 Arrivals

[Bob C]

I'm not having much luck identifying the E190s in full Qantaslink colours. I only have VH-XVM and -UZD but suspect there are a few others. Any help will be greatly appreciated as always.

[Greg Hyde]

Bob, I've got UZD, XVM, UZH, UZF & N967UW

[Rowan McKeever]

I’ve got the same as Greg. N967UW will become UZQ according to an earlier post.

UZD and XVM are the only two so far to enter service and both are based on Darwin. I assume both need to be based there so the Dili flight is Qantas-branded but that’s just an assumption.

As an aside, I’ve noticed some of the E190 routes have dropped away, being ADL-CNS/OOL and DRW-CNS/TSV.

Gents, I believe that N765UW is also in QF link livery, I saw a photo from SJO which showed 2 in QF link, not long before N967UW left for BNE. N963UW arrived in SJO after the photo I saw.

Remember that N934QQ the last COPA one is still there, has been since 21 June 2021. It is strange that it has not moved yet??? It will be UYE when it arrives eventually.

N965UW should be VH-UZK and N963UW VH-UZI, the only 2 UZ's left.. There are still 8 in ROW, N944UW, 945, 946, 947, 948, 950, 952 and 953. They should be all in the VH-XV? group. My view is 953 will be XVP and 952, XVO. The 6 others will take 6 of the 7 left below M. B, D, E, F, J, K and L.

Dennis, not to put a spanner in the works.

Don't forget SEF (at Bankstown) which QQ acquired on 01/04.

I expect it will change reg when ownership is transferred

[Dennis McLean]

Greg, I just called up VH-XFN on Flight Aware, nothing came up perhaps SEF might become XFN as it was an Ex Helvetica machine like XFL and XFM???

[Dennis McLean]

Interesting, SEF comes up on Flight Aware as a Brindabella SW4, last flew 3/12/15

[Rowan McKeever]

XFN is registered as a Bell chopper and most of the other XF* are also taken. Alliance might’ve picked up one of the XF* regos from the VA A330s - there are no aircraft registered XFC, XFD, XFG or XFJ but in fairness I can’t see the list of available marks to see if any of those are reserved. CASA seems to have removed that product.

I don’t think SEF, the Embraer version anyway, has ever flown with that rego.

Rowan is right, SEF has never flown with a VH Reg. It ferried in on 24/11/2020 with HB-JVR and was registered VH-SEF 06/01/21.

Last seen with HB-JVR and SEF on the nosewheel doors.
