Guess they want to make sure it still flies first..

VNK has arrived in SBD in the USA.
VPI has arrived in HER, guessing it will soon follow VPJ to EXT.
XFC is now due to perform a MEL MEL flight today... guessing the lockdowns have thrown a spanner in the works here.

VUY - Heading to HKG in the next 10 days or so.
VUX - In the hanger in MEL. Won’t be too far away from heading off for it’s heavy check.

Thanks so much for keeping the group informed of updates and maintenance for the Virgin fleet, Dave. We really appreciate it. It is good to see movement planned for VUX and VUY.

Do you happen to know when VUR will return to service now that it has had its maintenance in SIN. Also, will YFE be sent for maintenance once YFH returns from CRK with YFJ to follow later on?

Lastly, do you know when 2-VYFI & G will be returning from the US? I see that 2-VYFG has been in Kansas City (MCI) for over two weeks now, which could be for more than planned maintenance, before it has to cross the Pacific. Thanks again for the information that you post.

Thanks for the information, Dave. Much appreciated.

VUX will also need a repaint before returning to service as it must still be in Tigerair livery.

Yep correct. Original seats went back into VUX in the last week
