Virgin Australia seem to be operating a daylight LAX-SYD flight leaving LA on August 8, flight VA9552. The plane comes in from BNE. August 8 won't see either a MEL or BNE flight, whereas with DL's codeshare, there will be 3 flights to Sydney. It departs LAX at 830am and arrives Sydney Saturday afternoon at 4.30pm. It's very much bookable, but what's with special? anything big happening?

Today's arrival and departure of Air New Zealand's first B787-9 commercial service from Auckland to Sydney. Challenging conditions today, arrival
after clearing fog, patchy cloud, then the sun over head for departure. Watch The Video

Nice shots Grahame ! Must have been using heavily reduced thrust (assumed temp etc) for it to rotate so late down Rwy 34L.

Nothing to do with SYD but I thought it was interesting... VA ATR72 VH-FVN ferried home from Seletar over the last two days. Yesterday nonstop to PHE in 6:27 and today nonstop PHE to BNE in 5:52 (I was listening on liveATC as the controller asked how long the sector was). Today's flight had a scheduled stop at ASP but was making up time all the way from takeoff and obviously a decision was made that the aircraft could continue all the way to BNE without stopping!
And yes, I know it would only have had pilots onboard! |

9M-XXT in MEL today on its first day in service, is this Air Asia's new livery or just a special one off on this aircraft.

I believe a once-off special... it even has a name - "Xcintillating Phoenix".

This is what a days worth of movements at YSSY looks like. You can see the southern traffic tracking in through RIVET at 8 o'clock, and oceanic traffic tracking in via MARLN to the east. Quite noticeable that Runway 25 was in operation today, and there is the
typical wide bands of traffic departing to Melbourne and Brisbane.
