VA / TT Fleet departures

Anthony Collins · #1 25th August 2020, 02:46 PM

Hi everyone.
Now that it is official the 777/A330 and Tiger A320 fleet will be leaving our shores, do we have any information on the expected months they will depart. Certainly a tough market for aircraft leasing companies to find new operators, perhaps short term storage maintenance will continue in Australia for a while, or put into deep storage. I noticed 777 VH-VPH undertook a 15 minute circuit out of Tulla as VA9909 on the 23rd August.
Cheers,

YFG/I/N/P/Q will be the 1st 737's to leave our shores in the very near future.

VH-YFG is now registered 2-VYFG.

Interesting that the five are the younger sky interior aircraft. I'd imagine it is to do with leasing vs ownership etc.

I notice five of the older VA 738's (VOK VOO VUC VUE VUK) have returned to service, probably to replace the five mentioned YF* aircraft that were actually in operation and are now leaving the country.

Interestingly the ex-VA E190s that were deleted from the Aust. Reg in July have also joined the 2-REg.

I don't know what to make of the regn's with the 2 and the way they are retaining the remaining letters in the regn's.

So I am now wondering if YFG, I, N, P, Q will end up with Rex.

They will be heading to Goodyear, Arizona soon

And according to the CASA website, the Registration Holder for each of the 5 B737s to be withdrawn is the Wilmington Trust Company of Wilmington, Delawere, U S A.
