Another A320 for Jetstar VH-VFL ferried to Hamburg from Toulouse today so will be delivered in the near future. This aircraft has Sharklets.

Hi,

New VA ATR72 VH-FVR is ferrying from Perth to Brisbane via Kalgoorlie today.

Does anyone know the date when it arrived on delivery into Perth please?

Thanks,

Steve S

Evening all,

Skyliners is reporting that new Jetstar A320 VH-VFL (with Sharklets) began its delivery flight to Australia today 16/2/13. It should arrive in the country (presumably Melbourne) in the next few days.

VH-VFL I believe does not have Sharklets on it.

Grahame I believe that frame is now 9V-JSQ with Jetstar Asia as Planespotters.net has 9V-JSQ with test rego F-WWIZ and cn 5390. VH-VFL on the other hand has test rego F-WWDF and cn 5489. This photo is not of VFL (must be a typo), therefore there still isn't any confirmation of whether or not Sharklets are present.

Plus it generally wouldn't make sense for an A320 out of the production line taxiing in its full scheme on November 15 2012 (when this photo was taken) to only have just been delivered now, would it?

I guess we'll have to wait and see what news the MEL spotters bring us

Brock, Tim Bowrey confirmed that it has no sharklets when he saw it in Dubai. Hopefully the next one will have them.
