Nauru Airlines

[Dennis McLean]

VH-XNU, 733, is the only Nauru aircraft that can be tracked on Flight Aware. If you check it is currently in Jakarta and has been since 2 March. I spoke to a gentleman at there hanger yesterday and he told me it was there for a "D" check. The 700, VH-INU was outside the hanger and a 300, VH-ONU was inside.

INU flew yesterday

Don’t think it will be around for long with them getting a US foreign carrier permit

CH-Aviation reports that the governments of Nauru and the Marshall Islands have reached an agreement that would allow Nauru Airlines to serve HNL from INU [Nauru International Airport, Yaren, Nauru] via MAJ. Nauru Airlines already obtained approval from the US DOT for scheduled service to GUM and charter service to HNL, but need an intermediary stop for HNL. No timeline has been set for the INU-MAJ-HNL service, except that it is the early stages of planning.

[lloyd fox]

Nauru Airlines will start BNE-ROR(Palau) non stop 738 flights on 21 May .
Flights will depart Tuesday nights at 2330 hrs on the 6 hr flight.They will return BNE on Thursdays at 0530 am.

I am not sure it is heading for maintenance. As an aside, didn’t realise she is the last 733 built!

[Dennis McLean]

Thanks Mark. Just looked and it has been in Beirut Air Base since 2.46pm local time yesterday???????

[Dennis McLean]

Thanks Mark, it landed at Beirut Air Base at 2.46pm local time yesterday??????

I see Nauru are expecting E190-E2 VH-IKJ anytime now, wonder if that’s got anything to do with Great Southern

[lloyd fox]

No Mark they are different.:)

Incorrect, operating for Air Kiribati. They still own it, it was just leased to Pionair after the deal for them to operate it was scrapped during covid.

I realise they are different, just thinking Nauru are leasing the E jet so they can provide the services to great southern on a commercial basis, or non commercial basis as the case may be.

Air Kiribati are leasing to Nauru apparently, with Nauru looking for crew. To complicate things ASL are also looking for E2 crew.

On another site they are saying VP-CAJ another 737-800 ex Westjet will be joining the fleet soon as VH-AN3.

Will be their first aircraft with split scimitar winglets if true.
