Tigerair A330s

D-AVVO has had a colourful past! Ex Easyjet & Frontier!

Nathan your information is incorrect. rego D-AVVO is actually a test registration owned by Airbus and allocated to the airframe before the customer accepts transfer of legal title. D-AVVO is from a basket of "test" regos used by Airbus Hamburg. You will see this rego pop up on future build airframes.

Correct VH-VNR is line number 5900 and brand new.

Apparently a Tiger announcement in BNE as I type...

Possibly a Base?
Expansion?

BAC are holding a press conference about their INTL revamp.

This is the last one delivered with the wingtip fence for the company. Next one is 9V-TRN for Tiger Singapore and it has sharklets.

The transfer of VA A330s to Tiger Australia is gaining momentum. I think you might see an announcement soon.

[Max C]

I did hear the other day that the first 2 A330's are leaving VA when the next 2 new ones arrive.

[Yusef D]

2 A330s out: XFA in Sept 2014, XFB in December.

One A330 in: XFJ in service Sept 2014.

Net loss: one airframe, and I don't think for a moment they're going to Tigerair.

So VA wil be reducing its A330 fleet by one frame?

Do they have anymore on order?

And what flights will be cut or revert to B737 once the reduction occurs?

[Rowan McKeever]

According to a presentation they gave to the Macquarie Investor Conference on 1 May 2013 there will be 8 A330s in fleet at 30 June 2015... there are currently 7, so if XFA and XFB are exiting there must be more on order. I'd suggest the fact this is not reflected on planespotters and other online databases would be due to the line number etc not being public knowledge at this stage.
