When was this from? I flew CBR-HBA on the 24th May and it was operated by a 170.

I did it on the 25th in ZPI.

You find over the next few months the 190's will slowly move in on the routes that were once 170's. Over the last few weeks I have also done a lot of SY-CB-SY flights in the 190.

Until all the 170's are gone expect the aircraft type 170 or 190 on a specific route to change day to day.

I was just reading that ex Virgin Blue E170 VH-ZHB was written off in a hangar fire in 2018 in the USA (Republic Airlines/Delta).

Correct. Fire broke out in forward cargo hold.

Triggered by welding

Columbus Division of Fire Chief said it appears welders working on the front portion of the aircraft caused the plane to catch fire.
