737 or E-jet?

737

[Jason Carruthers]

Flight numbers are DJ1283 (SYD-HTI) and DJ1282 (HTI-SYD)

737 or E-jet?

These flights are not loaded into the timetable but a dummy booking in December shows me there are 6 Blue Zone seats available which would suggest it will be a 737 service.

Curious that the DJ "where we fly" map has already added SYD-HTI to the network, despite the fact that the recent additional CBR, TSV and DRW services are still yet to be added. :confused:

Also of interest is that HBA-ADL and LST-BNE re-appear on the network despite both of those links disappearing a while ago when services were terminated. Any info on either of these two returning soon?

Its amazing how many new routes Virgin has started this year in a recession and the year is not out for a long time yet. This has been their busiest year for new routes in a long time. What would be all the new routes this year:

tsv-cns, tsv-cbr, tsv-rok, tsv-ool, Cbr-hba, syd-hti, mel-drw and per-drw

does anyone know if JQ will re-instate the 2nd daily SYD-HTI service? Didn't they operate twice daily not too long ago?

Would be nice if they started MEL-HTI as well :D
