VA / TT Fleet departures

VH-YQR was due to return to service this, operating VA328, but the flight was cancelled.
Assuming this is due to the lack of people wanting to head to the COVID hotspot.

2-VYFI (to be VH-YQH) has just flown from GYR to MCI for maintenance, arriving an hour ago. It joins 2-VYFG (to be VH-YQG) which has been there for two and a half weeks and could be finished maintenance shortly for the return to BNE.

Tristan, it looks as though Virgin has rescheduled YQR to operate VA1396 from BNE to ADL and return this afternoon, after cancelling the flight to MEL.

Posts continue including one saying that it is under heavy maintenance.

We will have to wait and see if it is deleted off the reg

It’s in heavy maintenance with Hawker Pacific in CNS. The hangar is quite busy up there so it could have simply been towed out of the hangar to rearrange other aircraft in there.

If you’re going to scrap an aircraft, the first thing to go is the engines...
