It is temporary, all Boeing 737 that REX will receive will lose the ex VA aircraft registration.

Aside from VH-REX, all registrations in the VH-RE* block are taken so they won't be registered in that sequence. Not one is available.

They seem to be taking up VH-ZP* for Saab's lately which ironically are ex Virgin E190 registrations.

Don't know why they have to change as they will be all over the shop anyway.

Morning all,

VH-RQC (ex. VH-VOP) scheduled into Brisbane at 1740 from Jakarta on delivery to REX.

I guess that REX could have used _EX such as TEX, WEX etc, if any were available to keep a sequence, but it looks as though using RQC has knocked that on the head.
It will be interesting to see what the next registration will be.

My guess is that they will all be VH-R**

After RQC, only RQG, RQP and RQS are available.

REX can also repeat the process they did with VH-REX to free-up existing SAAB regos that can be used by the new fleet.
