Default V Australia Final Services

I can't find this information on the website so am hoping that someone can help me.

I'm trying to find the dates of the final V Australia services for :

SYD/NAN/SYD
MEL/JNB/MEL
BNE/HKT/BNE
MEL/HKT/MEL

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

BNE-HKT last service (VA23) was on the 20th of February, operated by VH-VPE.
HKT-BNE last service (VA24) was on the 21st of February, operated by VH-VPE again.

Hope this helps!

That would make sense as it positioned to Sydney the next day to operate the inaugural service to Abu Dhabi.

That's right - it was flight VA9020 24FEB MEL-SYD and I was on it!

It was only for media/trade and we had about 60 pax all up. The front and back of the plane was where everyone sat for balance purposes. From door 2 to 4 it was empty. Boy what an amazing and sharp take off - such a light load and no cargo - those 77Ws go for it. Very quick 53 min flight.

Amazing product and great crew! A great way to fly to LAX and AUH.

Basically they are operating to LAX and Abu Dhabi, with codeshares on Etihad to provide onward connections to Europe and elsewhere.

Phuket and Nadi are returning to Pacific Blue operations and Jo'burg has been withdrawn completely.

The flights from BNE & MEL to Phuket have been taken over by Strategic using an A330. The only Pacific Blue flights to Phuket are from PER. Let's see how Strategic go. Selling pretty well from BNE so far...
