ZPG was flown to Marana Az last week, so it's now in long term storage. Given the amount of 190's on or a about to hit the market there is a good chance ZPG will never leave Marana has a complete aircraft.

I think it's 48 MAXs on the way, and around 8-12 -800s.

The new VH-YFW was delivered to Brisbane on Sat 16 July 2016.

I imagine as further 738's are delivered, they will withdraw non-sky interior 738's to transfer across to Tiger.

VH-YIS ferried to TSV last night so I presume it will enter the paint shop.

Surely YIS can't be up for a repaint already!?!?!?

I'm curious as to why YIS went to TSV.

Surely VA wouldn't transfer modern sky interior 738's to Tiger and keep the old interior 738's for themselves... ??

Recently i've observed several YF, YV and YI aircraft that have been freshly repainted upon return to Australia after undergoing "maintenance" in Jakarta...

As to why this is happening i don't know, perhaps better quality and lighter paint is now available?

If this is indeed the case there are surely cost savings by to be had over the remainder of the aircrafts serviceable life with Virgin Australia...

Perhaps Flying Colours are performing the same tasks on behalf of the Airline?
