Jun/Jul 2021 - New Deliveries / First Flights
 

Please post any information/questions about new deliveries, first flights etc in our region in this thread.

Embraer 190 LR 190.00616 VH- Cobham Aviation Services for delivery may21 ex MST after paint, G-reg ex G-CIDI

Added to reg as VH-IQA on 27/05

VH-XJE delivered to Perth the other day, will become UVQ "Jarrah"

Not sure where i should have put this but i guess a first flight to a strange destination.
Tomorrow QF6041 ..787-9 BNE-COS....This is Colorado Springs USA.

I doubt whether any other flights have done this route before ex Australia?:)

Is it Olympics related perhaps, noting that is the USOC base?

Otherwise odd

Edit: just saw on another forum that it's returning ADF personnel from a training exercise

Thanks Kent.:)

It's a ADF charter to pickup ADF personnel that have been training at a military base near Colorado Springs

Afternoon all,

Former Jetstar A320 VH-VQZ arrived into Melbourne last night in QantasLink livery

Odd, that it first went to Melbourne ?

Since ferried to Perth

I think because if used a Jetstar flight number/ maybe crew as well.

JJP6 ..Jetstar Japan ..JA11JJ due BNE at 1600 hrs today on delivery from Japan.
This is the 3rd one into Australia on delivery...There are another 2 in ASP .:)

Lloyd, I show three Jetstar Japan A320s in ASP - VH-YXU (ex JA06JJ), YXW (ex JA18JJ) & YXQ (ex JA12JJ). Hopefully, someone can correct my list if it is not accurate.

Correct James.
