Looks like one of the former VA 777s is seeing some service with VH-VPF, now VP-CKT, on being leased to Qatar.

A good question. From what I've seen, the Cathay birds with Qatar have had minimal updates such as seat covers and some other soft frunishings. The VA business class was newer than the Cathay one.

There are also some scheduled in Jan/Feb on BNE-ADL (possibly longer than that, haven’t looked).

There are also some scheduled in Jan/Feb on BNE-ADL (possibly longer than that, haven’t looked).

Thanks,

I was wondering how long they will continue with the B737-700's coming on line ?

[Tristan S]

Thanks,

I was wondering how long they will continue with the B737-700's coming on line ?

Although the first is to operate some flights on the east coast, I had heard they were going to the west coast to replace the F100s?

[Greg Hyde]

Although the first is to operate some flights on the east coast, I had heard they were going to the west coast to replace the F100s?

True, but they belong to VA and not VARA and can fly ANYWHERE on the VA network.

[Rowan McKeever]

I’m not sure the exact date but the ‘new’ -700s are still going to make their way to WA. Some will stay easy, others will move west and there will be some flights from both coasts to the likes of ADL and DRW.

[Greg Hyde]

It is interesting that VH-NBV is scheduled to start tomorrow as VA601, BNE-MKY rather than in the west.

[lloyd fox]

I read that 5 of the 7 will be based in BNE next year.

[Greg Hyde]

From CH-Aviation


The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has indicated it will withdraw permission for Virgin Australia (VA, Brisbane Int'l) and Alliance Airlines (QQ, Brisbane Int'l) to continue operating a charter alliance agreement that facilitated cooperating, coordinating, and jointly bidding for fly-in-fly-out (FIFO) work.

In 2017, the competition regulator okayed the agreement but following a May 2022 application by the airlines to extend it, the ACCC has now issued a draft determination and opposes the agreement continuing.

"The ACCC is not satisfied that the public benefits likely to result from the charter alliance agreement in the next five years will outweigh the public detriment that is likely to result from Virgin Australia Regional (VARA) and Alliance Airlines coordinating their FIFO services,” ACCC Deputy Chair Mick Keogh said. "The ACCC is not satisfied that the public benefits claimed to arise from combining Virgin Australia’s charter fleet and national regular passenger network with Alliance Airlines’ national charter network are likely to result from the extension of the agreement to the extent claimed by the applicants."

VARA is the Perth Int'l based subsidiary of Virgin Australia and primarily operates contracted charter flights in Western Australia for customers in the mining and resources sector. Brisbane-based Alliance Airlines also has a substantial presence in the Western Australia FIFO market and a large base in Perth. Other FIFO competitors out of Perth include Qantas and its National Jet Systems subsidiary, Skippers Aviation, and Rex - Regional Express owned National Jet Express (NJE).

In their responses to the draft decision, a Virgin Australia spokesperson said the charter alliance agreement will continue to operate under an interim authorisation while Alliance Airlines' managing director, Scott McMillan, added that the charter alliance agreement is separate from an existing wet-lease agreement the airline has with Virgin Australia to operate some passenger flights on Australia's east coast. Alliance Airlines is subject to a takeover bid by Qantas, however, that bid also needs separate ACCC approval to proceed.

The ACCC has acknowledged that the existing charter alliance agreement provides some operational efficiencies such as integrating equipment and fleets as well as providing some customer benefits.

"It is unclear whether the likely benefits are sufficiently significant to outweigh the anti-competitive detriment, and whether they will be substantially passed through to or realised by customers," said Keogh. The ACCC has previously also acknowledged the bargaining power and sophistication of FIFO customers, who include some of the world's biggest miners and resource entities.

The ACCC is now seeking further submissions, including from Virgin Australia and Alliance Airlines, addressing their concerns. “We will continue to work closely with the ACCC and Alliance to provide further information to address the gaps identified by the regulator," the Virgin Australia spokesperson said.

The ACCC adds that the existing interim authorisation to continue operating the charter alliance agreement remains in place until a final decision is made sometime in November.

[Tristan S]

It is interesting that VH-NBV is scheduled to start tomorrow as VA601, BNE-MKY rather than in the west.

601 ended up being operated late by YQO, looks like NBV came alive on FR24 for a moment as VA601 then disappeared.
She's still scheduled to operate VA609 at 1155L

Looks like VH-FWH made its last flight, Perth to Seletar via Port Hedland.

Following its sister ship FWI 2 months ago. Leaves 8 Fokkers.

All 7 KLM -700s doe in service by May 2023, long before the last F100 leaves. The 700s will bolster the east coast operation before the Max8s arrive from Q1 or 2 2023.

What is interesting, is the last two delivered aircraft sat on the ground in Nashville for 5 over years!

VUA, the last of VA's former B738's has left Australia.

After dropping into DPS, it headed north to China - at a guess, it will become a freighter.

[James Smith]

VUA continued onto CAN overnight arriving early this morning. Good guess, Tristan. ;)

[James Smith]

Skyliner has confirmed that VUA has gone to Guangzhou for freighter conversion.

I think more it was repossessed (luckily) by the lessor as Azur is Russian.

Yeah.. I've seen mention of it, but nothing concrete.
I should go for a drive and check them out, am interested to know if they are still all sealed up.

[Reece perram]

I've been out at wellcamp for the last 6 months and the 777's have been moved around, both VPD and VPH have been uncovered, engine changes and APU runs have been conducted, hydraulic testing completed too. No concrete time of their departures but looking like they'll be leaving soon though.

The VA 777's left in Oz should be flown out by the years end. That was the plan anyway.
The A332 in Perth will have the landing gear replaced in the near future and it too will be flown out.

Last I heard they were still trying to identify the oil leak. The crew were hoping to get it to KUL by March but that's obviously not happening. This was late February when I got told about this

Woah that's a big difference for an 'identical' aircraft!

Not identical, powered by CFM56-7B20 vs CFM56-7B22 engines which may explain it with the 22s generating 2100lbs more thrust.

There ya go, I'd not realised they had different engines. Thanks!

Not identical, powered by CFM56-7B20 vs CFM56-7B22 engines which may explain it with the 22s generating 2100lbs more thrust.

Both VBY and VBZ have the 22k thrust option.

The ex-KLM -700s have 24k thrust option but for a variety of configuration reasons can not be made ETOPS, so they can't do the HND route.

Payloads on this route are *extremely* limited on the 737-700, and will probably be very limited on the Max 8 too.

Still makes me wonder why they didn't just lease in a HiFly/Wamos/etc A330 to run HND from BNE or MEL until they decide what, if anything, to do about their own widebody fleet. I know they'll have had their reasons, I just can't see it myself.

I suspect that would be in violation of the slot holding rule. I don't know. But I do know that the current operation is in no way financially viable, and I have doubts that the Max 8 version would be much better.

From the discussions on Anet, it seems that under the agreement, VA must fly the route on its own metal, wet lease won't be acceptable, it has to be flown by VA metal with VA crew onboard.

Hi Tristan, welcome back. Is XFJ now CP-3209 with Boliviana de Aviación? I have XFH as CP-3208, so presume it is as they only have two A332s currently. Also, not sure what XFD will become as the registration CP-3210 is already utilised on one of their CRJ-200s. CP-3208 may be available though.

Yes, poor old XFE. It hasn't moved in over three and a half years.
