...and then there were four.

One more to depart soon, keeping 3 airframes until 2025 for airfields that aren't suitable for 737-700s.

According to Flightaware, A332 XFE is due to operate a 40 minute test flight PER-PER at 11:00 local WA time this morning.

Also, VH-8IB, B38M as VA9946 is nearly halfway on its five hour flight to MLB, Florida.

Flightaware seem to think it’s Per-per trip will end in 19mins, given it’s abeam Exmouth at cruise level I would suggest the last of the VA A330 experiments has left the country.
